The 2nd Invisible Hand. Learning from Nature & the incompleteness of economics
Timestamped PDF for Download and Citation I have spent some considerable time working on specifically how we can learn from cutting-edge biology to create a real, more complete science for how to better manage risk and develop our economic theory to actually face the challenges we have today. People have argued from a non-economics background that energy use ‘simply’ needs to be integrated properly into economic allocation decisions, but how to do this is left unsaid. Looking

What if the simplest games to capture cooperation problems always involve 3 players?
The title image looks at a three way game involving the idea of triadic closure. This is a theory from graphs that demonstrates the idea that interesting interactions can be 3-way not simply 2-way. In standard teaching of game theory we model the simplest possible games of cooperation as games in which there are only two players. While we do talk about one player games, these types of games are those in which one player makes all decisions, and so there is no conception that

On the Origin of Risk published
'On the Origin of Risk' is available on all formats! On the Origin of Risk presents a new way of understanding the deep biases we have in the business and scientific communities in our theories of risk and the core concepts we use to manage risk, especially as organisations. It presents the evidence and argument from cutting-edge biology that risk is managed differently in organisms in Nature, and that we must learn from Nature in order to develop new theories and lead our ma
