This paradigm shift, the biggest in the field for over a century, will have profound implications for business, government and society for decades to come.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn this groundbreaking book, economic thinker and writer Eric Beinhocker surveys the cutting-edge ideas of the leading economists, physicists, biologists and cognitive scientists who are fundamentally reshaping economics, and brings their work alive for a broad audience.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThese researchers argue that the economy is a 'complex adaptive system', more akin to the brain, the internet or an ecosystem than to the static picture of economic systems portrayed by traditional theory. They claim it is the evolutionary process of differentiation, selection and amplification, acting on designs for technologies, social institutions and businesses that drives growth in the economy over time. If Adam Smith provided the inspiration for economics in the twentieth century, it is Charles Darwin who is providing it in the twenty-first.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIf we can understand how evolution creates wealth, then we can better answer the question 'How can we create more wealth for the benefit of individuals, businesses and society?' Beinhocker shows how 'Complexity Economics' turns conventional wisdom on its head in areas such as business strategy, the design of organisations, the workings of stock markets and public policy.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAs sweeping in scope as its title, \u003ci\u003eThe Origin of Wealth\u003c\/i\u003e is a landmark book that shatters orthodox economic theory, and will rewire our thinking about how we came to be here - and where we are going.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rarewaves","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":31050153853025,"sku":"9780712676618","price":13.25,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0092\/7504\/8033\/files\/orig_32333520.jpg?v=1737186052","url":"https:\/\/www.rarewaves.com\/products\/9780712676618-origin-of-wealth-the","provider":"Rarewaves.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
