Against the Gods by Peter L. Bernstein is an exploration of humanity’s struggle to understand and manage risk. Bernstein challenges age-old beliefs in fate and providence. From ancient civilizations to modern financial markets, he traces our evolving understanding of risk and probability. The book chronicles how humanity moved away from oracles and soothsayers. Powerful tools of risk management emerged, liberating us from fatalism.
These tools allow us to navigate uncertainty and make informed decisions. The New York Times hails it as an “engaging introduction” to risk management. The Wall Street Journal calls it “extraordinarily entertaining and informative.” Bernstein’s expertise and storytelling make this a must-read.
