| エディターレビュー Reason, Steven Postrel The book is a piece of serious popular science writing; the author tries to be engaging and clear but is not afraid to use a little mathematics. Krugman's exuberance in describing his work helps get the reader over the rough spots. As a set of lectures aimed at people with backgrounds in economics, it also includes some technical sections that would be hard going for the uninitiated. Fortunately, these can be skipped with little loss of meaning. Krugman's general approach seems plausible for developing a general understanding of self-organization and complexity, for two reasons. First, he is willing to suppose that there is more than one process going on in the world, as shown by his instability and growth models. It really does seem absurd to suppose that the power law for word-use frequencies in English is generated by the same kind of process that determines earthquakes. SOC, order from instability, and Simon-style growth models appear to be independent explanations for power-law regularities. Second, Krugman starts with a more grounded understanding of the phenomena he studies, so that he knows better what features of reality are lost when he simplifies things in his models. --This text refers to the paperback edition of this title 出版社/著者からの内容紹介 新しい学問の分野として定着した複雑系。しかし経済学との関係についてはあまりにも誤解が多すぎる。自己組織化システムを経済理論に応用した刺激的な１冊。 |
