  • The Seneca Effect

    Why Growth is Slow but Collapse is Rapid

    de Ugo Bardi ...
    Series series Physics and Astronomy (R0)
    The essence of this book can be found in a line written by the ancient Roman Stoic Philosopher Lucius Annaeus Seneca: "Fortune is of sluggish growth, but ruin is rapid". This sentence summarizes the features of the phenomenon that we call "collapse," which is typically sudden and often unexpected, like the proverbial "house of cards." But why are such collapses so common, and what generates them? ... Leer más

  • Why Society is a Complex Matter

    Meeting Twenty-first Century Challenges with a New Kind of Science

    de Philip Ball ...
    Series series Physics and Astronomy (R0)
    Society is complicated. But this book argues that this does not place it beyond the reach of a science that can help to explain and perhaps even to predict social behaviour. As a system made up of many interacting agents – people, groups, institutions and governments, as well as physical and technological structures such as roads and computer networks – society can be regarded as a complex system. ...

  • Energy and the Wealth of Nations

    Understanding the Biophysical Economy

    Series series Engineering (R0)
    For the past 150 years, economics has been treated as a social science in which economies are modeled as a circular flow of income between producers and consumers. In this “perpetual motion” of interactions between firms that produce and households that consume, little or no accounting is given of the flow of energy and materials from the environment and back again. In the standard economic model, ... Leer más

  • Agent-Based Modelling of Social Networks in Labour–Education Market System

    Series series Economics and Finance (R0)
    This book covers the modelling of human behaviour in the education and labour markets, which due to their interdependency are viewed as one system. Important factors influencing the decision-making of individuals and firms in this system are discussed. The role of social environment and networks is stressed. The approach of agent-based modelling is presented and compared with standard economic ... Leer más

  • Simulating Knowledge Dynamics in Innovation Networks

    Series series Business and Management (R0)
    The competitiveness of firms, regions and countries greatly depends on the generation, dissemination and application of new knowledge. Modern innovation research is challenged by the need to incorporate knowledge generation and dissemination processes into the analysis so as to disentangle the complexity of these dynamic processes. With innovation, however, strong uncertainty, nonlinearities and ... Leer más

  • Understanding Leadership in Complex Systems

    A Praxeological Perspective

    Series series Business and Management (R0)
    This work proposes that Carl Menger’s Subjective Theory of Value (STV), and its subsequent elaboration by Ludwig von Mises as Praxeology, provides a useful alternative to more common methods in the study of action and social phenomena, and more specifically, to leadership in complex social systems. Rather than being based on rationality assumptions and algorithmic predictability, the STV ... Leer más
