In his book "Jurassic Park" (and in the movie based on the book),
Michael Crichton describes a crazed professor who through
techniques of genetic engineering manages to recreate the dinosaurs
and giant ferns of 65 million years past. Once the giant
Tyrannosaurus Rex is brought to life. a powerful dynamics sets in:
evolution. The prehistoric world embarks on a collision course with
man. Researching his book, Crichton had been reading up on
paleontology and on the mathematical theory of evolution,
catastrophes, and chaos. Crichton explains some of the twists of
nonlinear mathematics that are rewriting not only thermodynamics,
physics, and chemistry (that all grapple with evolving and
turbulent processes) but also paleontology, genetics, medicine and
even anthropology. Collapse and chaos is not limited to prehistoric
animal kingdoms and ancient civilizations. The collapse of the
Soviet Union and the political and economic chaos in its aftermath
demonstrate that modern civilizations are just as vulnerable. This
book aims at reexamining some main portions of the discipline of
economics from the point of view of economic change and creativity.
There are two aspects to this perspective. First, diversity and
complexity. The range of different kinds of high technology
products available to consumers and producers increases rapidly.
Each product is the result of a long and complex production
hierarchy. As these hierarchies grow, they deliver ever more
diversified and complex high tech goods. Other hierarchies fall by
the wayside.
