2000EC-88Boulder CO.: Westview Press 2000. Scholarly text presents an informal introduction to the ideas of modern systems theory and self-organization as they apply to problems in the economic realm. David Batten interleaves anecdotes and stories with technical discussions in order to provide the general reader with a good feel for how economies function and change. Using a wealth of examples from evolutionary game theory to stock markets to urban and traffic planning Batten shows how economic agents interact to produce the behavior we have come to recognize as economic life. Strongly interactive groups of agents can produce unexpected collective behavior emergent features which are lawful in their own right. These patterns of emergent behavior are the hallmark of a complex self-organizing economy. Batten discards many traditional axioms of economic behavior. Far from displaying perfectly deductive rationality to achieve a predictable economic equilibrium his agents face an economy that is open and dynamic. There we find evolution heterogeneity and instabilities; stochastic and deterministic phenomena; unexpected regularities as well as equally unexpected large-scale fluctuations. Interacting agents are forced to be intuitive and adaptive because they must respond to a continuously changing economic landscape. Because complexity theory attempts to study a large number of agents and their changing interaction patterns it often gets too difficult for a mathematical solution. Thus many of the anecdotes and results discussed in the book have emerged from agent-based computer simulations. 314 pgs. Illustrated with tables and figures. Dustjacket in mylar. First Edition.

1933591New York: Harcourt Brace & Company 1933. First American Edition 1st Printing. <br /><br />Small Octavo 7 7/8 x 5 1/2 inches; 200 x 135 mm ix 1 318 pages in blue cloth titles in silver to spine in a printed dust jacket hard cover. <br /><br />Biographical essays of some politicians and economists: Lloyd George Bonar Law Churchill Trotsky Malthus Marshall etc. Eight black-and-white plates separated by tissue guards. <br /><br />One of Keynes's more interesting essays is about Trotsky who had written "Where Is Britain Going" Keynes is scathing: "Its dogmatic tone about our affairs where even the author's flashes of insight are clouded by his inevitable ignorance of what he is talking about cannot commend it to an English reader." But he hastens to add: "Yet there is a certain style about Trotsky." <br /><br />This book is quite scarce in the original dust jacket. <br /><br />CONDITION: Some rubbing to the cloth bumping to spine edges and a bit of fading to the spine titles. Internally slight toning to pages and some creases in a couple of the tissue guards. The dust jacket is sunned especially to the spine and has a large chip at the top of the front panel obscuring part of the "M" in Maynard. There also are smaller chips on the spine and flaps along with creasing to the flaps. The flap corners are trimmed but the $2.50 price is intact. Very Good or better in a Fair dust jacket. <br /><br /><br /> Harcourt, Brace & Company
