Skin in the Game has arguments that may be deemed somewhat questionable to the critical eye. However, one needs to realise that Taleb’s charm does not lie in making correct arguments.

Mukul’s critique is matter of fact and gives an idea of what to expect in Skin in the Game. At places, he doesn’t give an impression of being happy with Taleb’s latest work. Could it not be that what Mukul describes is lack of new ideas, is actually an extension of already established ideas by Taleb in his earlier works?
It seems that the best thing to do is to read Antifragile first and then go on to Skin in the Game.
