Description
Discover the transformative insights of 'Cogs and Monsters', a groundbreaking work by Diane Coyle that redefines the field of economics in the digital age. This trade paperback, published by Princeton University Press in 2023, delves deep into how digital technology, big data, machine learning, and artificial intelligence are reshaping economic paradigms and the challenges policymakers face today. Coyle argues that the traditional view of individuals as mere 'cogs' in the economic machine fails to capture the complexities of the modern digital economy, which is rife with 'monsters'—unpredictable, socially influenced phenomena that require a fresh approach to economic theory.
This essential book invites readers to rethink economic individualism, urging a reassessment of how we measure growth and progress in an era characterized by uncertainty and rapid change. Coyle emphasizes the critical need for diversity and inclusion within economic discourse to develop innovative solutions. 'Cogs and Monsters' is not just an exploration of current issues such as pandemic recovery, inequality, and climate change; it's a road map for adapting economic tools and theories using digital technologies and new methodologies.
Perfect for students, policymakers, and anyone interested in the future of economics, this title is an indispensable guide to navigating a complex world fueled by digital innovations.
