But Allison Schrager isn't your typical economist. Allison Schrager has spent her career examining how people manage risk in their lives. Stepping away from the stock market and other financial institutions, she shares the real-life (and often unusual) places she encountered and learned about risk. Whether we realize it or not, we all take risks large and small every day. Even the most cautious among us cannot opt out--the question is always which risks to take, not whether to take them at all. What most of us don't know is how to measure those risks and maximize the chances of getting all we want out of life." -- dust jacket flap. 650 0 $a Risk management. 650 0 $a Risk assessment. 650 0 $a Decision making. 941 $a 5 952 $l GZPE631 $d 20240305015526.0 952 $l S1PD771 $d 20201223010202.0 952 $l TXPC862 $d 20191116024450.0 952 $l CAPH522 $d 20190604033150.0 952 $l BAPH771 $d 20190403010117.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=C43C225855D511E9AB2D382597128E48 994 $a C0 $b IOUInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
