Beskrivning

What makes the 21st century different from the 20th century? This century is the century of extremes -- political, economic, social, and global black-swan events happening with increasing frequency and severity. Life in the 21st century is a long-tailed random walk – Levy walks -- through extreme events of unprecedented impact.
