Add to basketPaperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the fascinating and often overlooked realm of human decision-making, exploring the complex interplay between individual choices and the emergent behavior of systems. Drawing inspiration from the burgeoning field of chaos theory, which has revealed the unexpected patterns in physical systems, the author investigates whether similar principles of unpredictability and self-organization might also govern human behavior. Using a carefully designed experiment, the author challenges the traditional assumption of rationality in human decision-making. By simulating a microeconomic system ââ â a production and distribution chain known as the "Beer Distribution Game" ââ â the author demonstrates that even in a seemingly straightforward context, human subjects often exhibit surprising and sometimes chaotic patterns in their actions. The results reveal a surprising degree of complexity and suboptimal performance, highlighting the limitations of traditional economic models which often assume perfect rationality and predictable behavior. Through rigorous analysis, the author develops a model of the subjectsââ ⢠decision-making process, demonstrating that human choices are not always governed by pure logic but can be influenced by cognitive heuristics, such as anchoring and adjustment. This discovery has profound implications for our understanding of social and economic systems, suggesting that even seemingly simple decisions can have unpredictable consequences, potentially leading to oscillations, amplifications, and even chaotic outcomes. The book's insights into the complex interplay between human decision-making and systemic behavior challenge conventional wisdom and offer a more nuanced and realistic perspective on how individuals and systems interact. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.

Add to basketPaperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the fascinating world of economic cycles, exploring the various patterns of growth and fluctuation that have characterized the global economy throughout history. The author challenges conventional economic theories, which often focus on equilibrium, and instead proposes a "behavioral disequilibrium" perspective, suggesting that human behavior and decision-making play a crucial role in shaping economic dynamics. The book examines three prominent cyclical modes: the short-term business cycle, the construction cycle, and the long wave, or Kondratieff cycle. Each cycle is analyzed through a detailed exploration of the underlying feedback processes that govern individual firms and their interactions with the broader economic system. The author argues that the intricate web of these feedback loops, including those driven by investment, production, and consumption, can lead to both stable and unstable cyclical patterns. The book further explores the concept of "nonlinear entrainment," a phenomenon where different cyclical modes with similar frequencies can synchronize and influence each other, resulting in a coherent aggregate economic behavior. The author demonstrates how this interaction can lead to the emergence of well-defined periodicities, such as the relationship between the business cycle, the construction cycle, and the long wave. This book offers a unique and compelling framework for understanding the complex and often unpredictable nature of economic cycles, providing valuable insights into the historical patterns of economic growth and the interplay of human behavior and economic systems. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.

Add to basketTaschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - The development of a proper description of the living world today stands as one of the most significant challenges to physics. A variety of new experimental techniques in molecular biology, microbiol ogy, physiology and other fields of biological research constantly expand our knowledge and enable us to make increasingly more detailed functional and structural descriptions. Over the past decades, the amount and complexity of available information have multiplied dramatically, while at the same time our basic understanding of the nature of regulation, behavior, morphogenesis and evolution in the living world has made only modest progress. A key obstacle is clearly the proper handling of the available data. This requires a stronger emphasis on mathematical modeling through which the consistency of the adopted explanations can be checked, and general princi ples may be extracted. As an even more serious problem, however, it appears that the proper physical concepts for the development of a theoretically oriented biology have not hitherto been available. Classical mechanics and equilibrium thermody namics, for instance, are inappropriate and useless in some of the most essen tial biological contexts. Fortunately, there is now convincing evidence that the concepts and methods of the newly developed fields of nonlinear dynam ics and complex systems theory, combined with irreversible thermodynamics and far-from-equilibrium statistical mechanics will enable us to move ahead with many of these problems.

Add to basketTaschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - From time to time, perhaps a few times each century, a revolution occurs that questions some of our basic beliefs and sweeps across otherwise well guarded disciplinary boundaries. These are the periods when science is fun, when new paradigms have to be formulated, and when young scientists can do serious work without first having to acquire all the knowledge of their teachers. The emergence of nonlinear science appears to be one such revolution. In a surprising manner, this new science has disclosed a number of misconceptions in our traditional understanding of determinism. In particular, it has been shown that the notion of predictability, according to which the trajectory of a system can be precisely determined if one knows the equations of motion and the initial conditions, is related to textbook examples of simple; integrable systems. This predictability does not extend to nonlinear, conservative systems in general. Dissipative systems can also show unpredictability, provided that the motion is sustained by externally supplied energy and/or resources. These discoveries, and the associated discovery that even relatively simple nonlinear systems can show extremely complex behavior, have brought about an unprecedented feeling of common interest among scientists from many different disciplines. During the last decade or two we have come to understand that there are universal routes to chaos, we have learned about stretching and folding, and we have discovered the beautiful fractal geometry underlying chaotic attractors.
