About this listen

A Business Week, New York Times Business, and USA Today Best Seller

In this unique exploration of the role of risk in our society, Peter Bernstein argues that the notion of bringing risk under control is one of the central ideas that distinguishes modern times from the distant past. Against the Gods chronicles the remarkable intellectual adventure that liberated humanity from oracles and soothsayers by means of the powerful tools of risk management that are available to us today. This brand new audio edition of Bernstein's classic work is masterfully narrated by Mike Fraser.

Produced and published by Echo Point Books & Media, an independent bookseller in Brattleboro, Vermont.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

If you know nothing about markets and the market economy this is the book for you. If you know a large amount about markets and the market economy, this is the book for you. If you have no knowledge about mathematics and its influence on the gambling mind, this is the book for you. This is a tour de force of what we know and what we only think we know. A stunning study of risk and its implications and history.

One of those books- amazing
