Against the Gods

The Remarkable Story of Risk

Book • 2008

Peter L. Bernstein

Against the Gods: The Remarkable Story of Risk chronicles the intellectual journey that has led humanity from relying on oracles and soothsayers to using sophisticated tools of risk management.

The book delves into the history of probability, starting from ancient civilizations and their limitations in understanding chance, to the modern era where risk is quantified and managed.

Bernstein discusses how the development of probability theory and risk management has been a key factor in distinguishing modern times from the past.
