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\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\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 alchemies catastrophe into profit.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c!----\u003e","brand":"Scribe Publications","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48327882539258,"sku":"0K6YG25LAFHJ","price":425.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0704\/0473\/5226\/files\/0K6YG25LAFHJ.jpg?v=1735158675","url":"https:\/\/versoz.co.in\/products\/0k6yg25lafhj","provider":"VERSOZ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
