Abstract
There is no success without risk-taking, and most people will accept that risk-taking requires a tolerance for failure. Yet, how realistic is it to expect success in a world so bent on punishing failure? Why should people expect high returns in politics, economics and society when they continue to reward risk-averse politicians and leaders? Tim Harford, author of popular non-fiction books like Adapt and The Undercover Economist, explored this dichotomy at an SMU talk.
