Exponentials, Economics, and Ecology with David Krakauer
Offered By: Santa Fe Institute via YouTube
Course Description
Overview
Explore the complex interplay between exponential growth, economic systems, and ecological dynamics in this thought-provoking 47-minute talk by David Krakauer, part of the Santa Fe Institute's Transmission Series. Delve into how small disruptions in networks can lead to large-scale transformations, as exemplified by the COVID-19 pandemic. Examine nonlinear dynamics, feedback loops, and interwoven ecological and economic systems to gain a new perspective on individuality-in-context and potential mechanisms for aligning individual and public good. Discover insights from various fields including evolutionary theory, economics, epistemology, and epidemiology to uncover hidden patterns and deeper order in our interconnected world.
