Quotes by Allison Schrager (?)

“Unusual markets often provide the clearest insight into how risk is assessed, bought, and sold. Because nothing is hidden in markets like sex work, the subtleties that exist in all markets are made obvious. This is why we can learn the most by studying how business is conducted at the edges of the economy and apply that knowledge to more typical economic transactions.”
― Allison Schrager, An Economist Walks into a Brothel: And Other Unexpected Places to Understand Risk

“Playing good poker means only playing 12 percent of your hands. You can’t make money if you play more than 30 percent, and if you play 100 percent you’ll go broke every day.”
