Taleb makes the point that the achilles heel of capitalism is that if you make corporations compete, it is sometimes the one that is most exposed to the negative Black Swan that will appear to be the most fit for survival.
I have made a similar point previously. Basically, those companies that appear to be "best in breed" are oftentimes those that are the rottenest, ie. they are cooking the books (eg. AIG).
