March 10th, 2009Ian Bremmer At Town Hall – Fat Tail And Other Great Books
Ian Brenner – the “edicated intellectual entrepreneuer” – was at Town Hall Seattle tonight to kick off the start of another book tour. His latest book is called The Fat Tail: The Power of Political Knowledge For Strategic Investing. Ian spoke about the book for 40 minutes and then took audience questions for the next 20. He even managed to crack a few good jokes while speaking, and then interrupted our laughter with a remark like “I really didn’t think you would laugh at that one”. The fat tail is not an investing book, but it just may be the most important book worth reading for all CEO’s of multi-national companies. And for those lucky enough not to be CEO’s of multi-nationals, it’s an insightful book that just may help you understand how the political risks in the world can affect the markets.
