PRESTON KEAT
discusses
The Fat Tail:
The Power of Political Knowledge
for Strategic Investing
Harvard Book Store is delighted to welcome PRESTON KEAT, research director of Eurasia Group, the world's leading political-risk consultancy firm, for a discussion of his new book, The Fat Tail: The Power of Political Knowledge for Strategic Investing. "The Fat Tail delivers practical wisdom on the impact of political risk on firms of every description and valuable advice on how to use it. Ian Bremmer and Preston Keat offer innovative thinking and useful insight that will help business decision-makers find fresh answers to questions they may not yet know they have." -Fareed Zakaria (The Post-American World) "Political risk has become increasingly complex, and The Fat Tail provides a truly new way to quantitatively assess it in established and emerging markets. It is essential reading for any CEO with multinational interests." -Randall Stephenson, Chairman, AT&T "Bremmer and Keat are right: economics produces cycles and even crises, but it is politics that has the power to turn crises into profound and lasting dramas. Their book should be essential reading for anyone involved in international business even-perhaps especially-in places that seem politically stable." -Bill Emmott, editor-in-chief of The Economist 1996-2003 "In an uncertain age in which everyone from individual investors and CEOs to journalists and heads of state seems at times to be grasping in the dark for insights to where we are heading, Ian Bremmer and Preston Keat have given us a unique roadmap, a forecasting toolkit that shines a light on our possible futures." -Robert Kagan (The Return of History and the End of Dreams)
