Nassim Nicholas Taleb angry with economists. The interviewer was just a journalist clueless about his ideas but he got them across anyway by ignoring her questions.

  • BLONDE says Apocalyptic at the end

    She bought a dictionary!

  • @stuartnnnBO Sorry i dindt make it clear you it isnt a bad thing dont have to be mathematical to be a economist some schools of economic thought actually shun mathematical approach to model building(Austrian school).TALEB himself proclaims he is not an economist he calls them pseudo intellectuals. as a result of being not being an economist he has been able to develop independent thinking on the black swan problem .oh and although Fermat was known for his mathematical exploits he was a lawyer

  • 11 are part of the 1%

  • @mzee101 Are you saying that is a bad thing?

    If you are, I would disagree with you. Would you say Fermat was an economist? Or just a mathematician? A lot of what he's saying comes from Fermat.

    Do you have to be an economist to talk about maths?

  • Austrian economists predicted this.

  • I love Taleb's facial expression at 4:51 when the other guest is talking about being "forward-looking"--she sounds like a phoney representative from some company.

  • the man is not an economist

  • @IJASFDIJL absolutely....so true....as well as Nouriel Roubini aka Dr.Doom and Joseph Stiglitz

  • Best economic philosopher

  • What he's said about it just being the start has been proven completely correct in the last few months
