Complex Economics: Individual and Collective Rationality

By Alan P. Kirman

Book Overview

The economic crisis is also a crisis for economic theory. Most analyses of the evolution of the crisis invoke three themes, contagion, networks and trust, yet none of these play a major role in standard macroeconomic models. In this book Kirman argues for a theory in which these aspects are central.
