   Retired quant Nassim Nicholas Taleb has his professional papers on-line, some here http://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/cf_dev/AbsByAuth.cfm?per_id=475810 at Social Science Research Network. Many more are linked from his current professional homepage http://www.fooledbyrandomness.com/ and in his various popularized writings. https://www.amazon.com/Nassim-Nicholas-Taleb/e/B000APVZ7W
   
   His background is very different from the stereotypical quant from high energy physics.
