Contains revealing interviews with top hedge fund managers who survived and prospered through the 2008 financial crisis
Outlines investments and strategies for the rocky road ahead
Reveals how hedge fund managers are seeking a new paradigm of risk management and profit making opportunities in the post-crisis world

Page by page, the top macro thinkers found in this book reveal their own approaches to markets, risk, and the broader world in which we live, as well as their advice on how investors should be approaching money management in today's uncertain world.

Written by a veteran Wall Street Journal reporter, this is a fascinating deep dive into the world of billion-dollar traders and high-stakes crisis predictors who strive to turn extreme events into financial windfalls.

There's no doubt that our world has gotten more extreme. Pandemics, climate change, superpower rivalries, cyberattacks, political radicalization—virtually, everywhere we look there is mayhem bearing down on us, putting trillions of assets at risk.

And at least two factions have formed around how to respond. In Chaos Kings, Scott Patterson depicts how one faction, led by Nassim Nicholas Taleb, bestselling author of The Black Swan, believes humans can never see the big disaster coming. In their view, extreme events—so-called Black Swans—while inevitable, will always catch us by surprise. In 2007, Taleb's longtime collaborator, Mark Spitznagel, launched the Universa hedge fund, which would go on to make billions protecting investors against unforeseen chaos in the market.

A second faction, which relies on complex formulas, believes looming chaos can be detected. Chief among these risk prognosticators is Didier Sornette, a colorful French mathematician who enjoys riding his motorcycle at speeds in excess of 170 miles per hour. When Sornette looks out from what he calls his Financial Crisis Observatory in Zurich, Switzerland, what he sees are Dragon Kings—punishing events that are unlikely to occur but have probabilities that can be predicted...and defended against.

Which faction is right? All of our financial futures may depend on the answer

Титаны хедж-фондов стали новыми Рокфеллерами, Карнеги и Вандербилтами — новой элитой. Это карнавал креативности и жадности. История хедж-фондов — это история инноваций, ошеломляющих триумфов, унизительных падений и бесчисленных споров. Хедж-фонды прорвались через мясорубку последнего финансового кризиса без поддержки налогоплательщиков. Несомненно, будущее финансов за хедж-фондами — эдакими финансовыми «бутиками», альтернативой банковским «супермаркетам».
