(book) The Bed of Procrustes

The Bed of Procrustes - Nissim Nicholas Taleb

Writers are remembered for their best work,politicians for their mistakes, and businessmen are almost never remembered.

What they call "play"(gym,travel,sports) looks like work; the harder they try, the more captive they are.

Economics is like a dead star that seems to produce light;but you know it is dead.
