a laboratory for the study of broken democracy and creative capitalism.
Plus news about media and cultures.

Edge. Economisti

Una raccolta di opinioni su Edge sul rapporto tra scienza ed economia. Esempi:
DOUGLAS RUSHKOFF: The greatest danger of this compromised and arbitrary "scientific-style" approach to economics is that it implies an equivalence of the economy with nature.
MIKE BROWN: I think the main thing science has to offer in this crisis right now is a little dose of its traditional empirical humility
GEORGE DYSON: "Ten years ago I started a company based on the assumption that people are basically good," argued E-Bay founder Pierre Omidyar (at the Santa Fe Institute) in 2004. "And now I have the data to prove it." Instead of putting a dozen scientists in a room to come up with a better model of the existing global financial system, we should put a dozen Pierre Omidyars, Elon Musks, Salar Kamangars, and Jeff Bezoses in a room (with Danny Hillis) and let them actually build one (a new financial system, not another model).
EMANUEL DERMAN: This is a noble proposal, but I remain a bit of a skeptic with respect to the ability of a cohort of scientists and economists to find a scientific solution to the problems of our economy. Economies are living organisms, about as old as the oldest profession, and rebuilding the economic system from scratch is a problem in engineering and social engineering, not in science. Human's and scientists don't have a good history as regards social engineering.
MICHAEL SHERMER: Expand the problem by many orders of magnitude and we get a sense of the breathtaking inanity of trying to control an entire economy, no matter how smart the experts in our hypothetical economic Manhattan Project may be. The economy is a product of human action, not of human design. Trying to redesign something that was never designed in the first place is futile. I vote no on an economic Manhattan Project.

Who nose?

Si avvicina il momento in cui sarà obbligatorio scrivere del futuro, solo perché tutti prevedono - con qualche certezza - che tra poco comincerà un nuovo anno.
Sicché i giornali si preparano a questa incombenza. Qualcuno con maggiore precisione. Da consultare per esempio l'Economist.
Ma lo strumento principale per avere un'idea di dove andare a parare quando si deve scrivere del futuro resta quello di sempre.

Quindi non resta che chiedersi: who nose?
