If there's anything you think ought to be on this page, please let me know. I have not included the Santa Fe Institute's work here. You can find it on any good search engine. Brian Arthur's work is especially interesting, but I'm not sure it fits the brief here. It's closer to econometrics than political economy. Interestingly, an econometrics professor recently described political economy as "an excuse for sloppy thinking" (unfortunately, for ethical reasons, I can't name names). However, the IMF's record suggests that a rigid and rigorous econometrics is not very good for studying even the most narrow aspects of social exchange. It is even less suited to futurology, which it claims to excel at (see Krugman or Quiggin, above). Presently, a monkey is doing far better than the Chicago School at predicting prices, a narrow focus if there ever was one. This is an excellent, albeit indirect, indicator that a massive stock jobbing swindle is well underway throughout the world. Nothing new there ...
