Taleb Calls Cameron ‘Extraordinary’ in New Statesman Interview

Nassim Nicholas Taleb, author of “The Black Swan,” said British Prime Minister David Cameron is “the only thing we have left” to build a more robust economy, in an interview with the New Statesman magazine.

Taleb, whose book is about how unforeseen events can roil markets, said that Cameron is “extraordinary” and “understands expert problems,” according to a transcript released by the London-based magazine. By contrast, “Barack Obama doesn’t have a clue.”
