Description:

The economy is like society itself, he argues: a complex system living on the edge of chaos. Conventional economics has always failed to predict and manage its fluctuations. Governments and businesses need to adopt quite different mindsets and less heavy-handed approaches. Hence Butterfly Economics.

Synopsis:

Ormerod tears up conventional wisdom and explains why the economy is much more than the sum of its parts. He argues that the economy must be viewed more like a living organism and suggests that policies designed to solve such problems as unemployment are doomed to a high failure rate. He suggests that different mind-sets and approaches are needed.
