 What is the educational background of the person who wrote “Complexity”?
Evidently, Krugman felt four years ago that Arthur's contribution was important enough to merit a prominent mention in his book. As a professional journalist, I found his points well taken--even when he cites my own book, Complexity as a classic example of the gullibility genre. Among many other things, Complexity tells the story of the Irish-born economist Brian Arthur and how he came to champion a principle known as "increasing returns." I leave it for others to decide whether I was too gullible in writing Complexity . During my research for Complexity I spoke to a number of economists about his work, including Nobel laureate Kenneth Arrow, co-creator of the General Equilibrium Theory of economics that Brian so eloquently criticizes.
