High anxieties . The mathematics of chaos 5.7

BBC4's: "Documentary which looks at how developments in mathematics over the past 40 years have completely changed our understanding of the fundamental nature of the world we live in.
As we approach tipping points in both the economy and the climate, the film examines the mathematics we have been reluctant to face up to and asks if, even now, we would rather bury our heads in the sand rather than face harsh truths."

Simply, no one knows. WE DO NOT KNOW! :D

@darkspace08 I agree with you, thanks for your comments! :)

@17secret you r welcome at any time! :D

Maybe the reason for the kollaps of the world financial systems is that they where testing out the chaos theory, lol.

This is BS!

The economists have been doing the math WRONG for decades.

All machines wear out including those bought by consumers. What happened to the depreciation of all of the cars since the Moon landing. 40 years of BAD ALGEBRA.

If accounting had been mandatory for all high school kids since 1960 the what would be the economic state now? Nobody knows. We created CHAOS by building it on IGNORANCE.

MORONS that want power want other people IGNORANT!

Neuroscience, biology...., even physics (I'd say physics in general, but QCD will do) doesn't satisfy all your 5 conditions.

The main problem with communistic model terrifying efficiency and cost of production.

You're examples are nonsense, unfortunately youtube comments section are not designed for discussions so I'll stop here.

I can just recommend to you Basic Economics 2ed from Thomas Sowell, you've learned socialist slogans well, not take a look how it actually looks like.

@enedene1 unfortunately all hard sciences do satisfy those criteria.

communistic economic model (that one which was implemented) has nothing to do with communistic ideals (all people are equal). take a look at GINI index and maybe at Elinor Ostrom's work.

examples of failures of fm: health care; public order; national defence; addictive substances; making law and regulations; monopolies; public transportation.

fm is beneficial but under scrutinized control and with proper attitude individuals.

@zdeklinowany

In your view any study of a complex system has no scientific value. Which science and all it's products satisfy all of your 5 conditions? Just don't tell physics before you read all 5 points.

@zdeklinowany

It seems that you have no idea about communistic economic model, otherwise you wouldn't say something ridiculous as: "Take a look at Scandinavian - they are pretty close to communistic ideals". I suggest you look at the index of economic freedoms for a more sober view compare index of economic freedom vs GDP.

What you're talking about are state social benefits, not freedom of market.

You say there are many examples of where free market fails, could you give me one example?
