The Fat Tail
Categories: Politics & Social Sciences
In The Fat Tail (2009), political risk analysts Ian Bremmer and Preston Keat of Eurasia Group explain how political events can disrupt markets and how companies and investors can prepare. The authors argue that political risks, from revolutions and wars to regulatory change and corruption, are rare but costly events that standard models underestimate. They describe different forms of risk with examples from around the world and set out ways to assess and manage them.
