Klappentext zu „Forecast “
In this thoroughly researched and piercingly intelligent book, physicist Mark Buchanan shows how a simple feedback loop can lead to major consequences, the kind predictable by mathematical models but hard for most people to anticipate. From his unique perspective, Buchanan argues that our basic assumptions about economic markets - that they are for the most part stable, with occasional interruptions - are simply wrong. Markets really act more like weather: a brief heat wave can become a massive storm in a matter of a few days, or even hours. Forecast re-imagines the basics of the financial world, with consequences that affect everyone.

Rezension zu „Forecast “
Buchanan succeeds where others fail ... He is able to communicate this novel way of thinking without compromising scientific integrity New Scientist on Ubiquity: The Science of History Ubiquity explains better than any previous book why many fields of the natural world and human life are unpredictable Financial Times Some of the conclusions are truly surprising ... Enthralling Daily Mail on Small Worlds Offers fascinating ways to approach worldly problems USA Today on The Social Atom Beguiling behavioural study ... he's on to something big Bloomberg News Likely the Blink or Freakonomics of 2007, theoretical physicist Buchanan's new book explains how we replicate behaviour of people we admire, and stick close to people with shared fundamental bonds such as ethnic heritage Time Out Chicago
