Pandemics, climate change, superpower rivalries, technological disruption, political radicalisation, religious fundamentalism - all threaten chaos that put trillions in assets at risk. But around the world, across a wide variety of disciplines, would-be super-forecasters are trying to take the guesswork out of what formerly seemed like random chance. Some put their faith in 'black swans' - unpredictable, catastrophic events that can't be foreseen but send exotic financial instruments screaming in high-profit directions. Most famous among this group of big-bet traders are those who run the Universa fund, who, on days of extreme upheaval, have made as much as $1 billion.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eAuthor Scott Patterson gained exclusive access to Universa strategists and met with savvy seers in a variety of fields, from earthquake prediction to counterterrorism to climatology, to see if it's actually possible to bet on disaster - and win. Riveting, relevant, and revelatory, this is a must-read for anyone curious about how some of today's investors alchemise catastrophe into profit.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Patterson, Scott","offers":[{"title":"New","offer_id":50085000610131,"sku":"9781915590916","price":14.3,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0616\/4001\/6057\/files\/patterson-scott-scott-patterson-chaos-kings-2024-paperback-9781915590916-60691269484883.jpg?v=1736400725","url":"https:\/\/chaptersbookstore.pro\/products\/scott-patterson-chaos-kings-2024-paperback","provider":"Chapters Bookstore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
