| Summary |
"This book is the first to both identify the wide range of political risks that global firms face and show investors how to effectively manage them. While the world economy remains perilous, political risk is easier to analyze and manage than most people think. Applying the lessons of world history, The Fat Tail surveys the risks in advanced, heavily regulated economies and the world's more precarious nations, where private property is less secure and energy politics more volatile. The book also sheds light on risks stemming from terrorism, government expropriations, and even the "black swans" that defy prediction. The authors provide a wealth of unique tools to help corporations and policy makers understand political risk, showing when and how political risk analysis works - and when it does not." |

"Authored by Ian Bremmer and Preston Keat, respectively the president and research director of Eurasia Group, the world's leading political risk consulting firm, The Fat Tail is an indispensable guide for anyone involved in the global economy."--BOOK JACKET |
