A study of risk seems appropriate given that the stock market is setting new records almost every day, leaving veteran market experts scratching their heads and adjusting their projections. A thorough history of human endeavors to comprehend probability and risk has been documented by Peter Bernstein. It starts with the first Greek gamblers and continues with the French mathematicians Pascal and Fermat in the 17th century and ends with current chaos theory. Along the way, he shows how knowledge of risk is fundamental to all endeavors, including game theory, constructing bridges, and producing wine.
