A clear understanding of what we know, don't know, and can't know should guide any reasonable approach to managing financial risk, yet the most widely used measure in finance today--Value at Risk, or VaR--reduces these risks to a single number, creating a false sense of security among risk managers, executives, and regulators. This book introduces a more realistic and holistic framework called KuU --the K nown, the u nknown, and the U nknowable--that enables one to conceptualize the different kinds of financial risks and design effective strategies for managing them. Bringing together contributions by leaders in finance and economics, this book pushes toward robustifying policies, portfolios, contracts, and organizations to a wide variety of KuU risks. Along the way, the strengths and limitations of "quantitative" risk management are revealed. In addition to the editors, the contributors are Ashok Bardhan, Dan Borge, Charles N. Bralver, Riccardo Colacito, Robert H. Edelstein, Robert F. Engle, Charles A. E. Goodhart, Clive W. J. Granger, Paul R. Kleindorfer, Donald L. Kohn, Howard Kunreuther, Andrew Kuritzkes, Robert H. Litzenberger, Benoit B. Mandelbrot, David M.Modest, Alex Muermann, Mark V. Pauly, Til Schuermann, Kenneth E. Scott, Nassim Nicholas Taleb, and Richard J. Zeckhauser. * Introduces a new risk-management paradigm * Features contributions by leaders in finance and economics * Demonstrates how "killer risks" are often more economic than statistical, and crucially linked to incentives * Shows how to invest and design policies amid financial uncertainty

Paradox is a guided tour of puzzles that have shaped logic, science, economics, mathematics, and philosophy�told in verse and unpacked in prose. Each paradox is introduced as a formally rhymed poem, followed by a concise explanation that makes the underlying idea clear without sacrificing rigor. Along the way, readers encounter liars and barbers, time-travelers and twins, markets that fail because they work too well, infinities that misbehave, and arguments that collapse under their own logic. Some paradoxes are resolved; others are not. All are illuminating.
