• Resumen

  • The author argues that society needs a unified conceptual framework for addressing questions of complexity, or issues that have many parts that can interact in many different ways that are difficult to predict before the issue reaches a tipping point and behavior changes radically. He suggests that as the Industrial Age generated the laws of thermodynamics, the modern age should develop laws of complexity to solve problems like financial uncertainty, rapid urbanization, and climate change.
