Summary

This revolutionary work taught the world how to systematically distinguish between risk - randomness with knowable probabilities - and uncertainty - randomness with unknowable probabilities - in order to accurately and properly ascertain a venture's potential profitability. Knight's methodology served as the foundation of the Chicago School of Economics.
