<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br><P>A groundbreaking book that uses physics to show how instability is inherent in economic markets, just as thunderstorms are a part of weather.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>Positive feedback--when A produces B, which in turn produces even more A--drives not only abrupt climate changes, but also the most important and disruptive events in economics and finance, from asset bubbles to debt crises, bank runs, even corporate corruption. But economists, with few exceptions, have ignored this reality for fifty years, holding onto the unreasonable belief in the wisdom of the market. It's past time to be asking how do markets really work? Can we replace economic magical thinking with a better means of predicting what the financial future holds, in order to prepare for, or even avoid the next extreme economic event?<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><p>Mark Buchanan is a physicist and science writer. He is the author of three previous books, Ubiquity, Nexus, and The Social Atom, and has been an editor of the science journal Nature as well as New Scientist.
