Who runs the world?

In his speech at the TED scientist James B. Glattfelder offers a new approach to the study of the economy - to perceive the interaction of people as complex systems, such as a school of fish or a flock of birds. This will help to maintain objectivity and avoid the personal imprint of people dealing with this issue.

"We spend billions of dollars trying to understand the origin of the universe, although we have not managed to understand the laws of the maintenance of a stable society, a working economy and the preservation of peace"
James B. Glattfelder

It turns out that people are easier to deal with the science that tells us how to construct the universe than the results of the interaction of the people themselves to each other. But in any situation you can find a way out, if you look at it from a slightly different angle.

James B. Glattfelder is engaged in the science that studies complex systems. Complex systems - is, for example, a flock of birds swarm of bees or schools of fish. And that seems to be from the complex behavior is actually the result of a few simple laws of interaction.

In his speech at TED, he offers an interesting approach to the study of economics. The equations form the basis of physics as well as complex networks underlie the study of complex systems. Ideas related to the study of the economy and social interactions are usually subjective, since they delayed the imprint of people who are engaged in it. And the approach to the study of these processes through a complex system can help avoid these personal prints and really make an objective picture.
