Complexity, Risk, and Financial Markets by Edgar E. Peters, ISBN 0471399817

$19.15

A groundbreaking look at complexity theory and its implications in the world of finance
Complexity theory tells us that processes with a large number of seemingly independent agents-such as free markets-can spontaneously organize themselves into a coherent system. In this fascinating book, Edgar Peters brings together scientific theory, the artistic process, and economics to show how the randomness and uncertainty of complexity theory can be applied to financial markets. Written in an engaging and accessible style, this is a thoughtful, conceptual look at the way free markets are, by their nature, continually evolving complex systems. Expanding on previous explorations of chaos theory, Peters draws on real-life examples ranging from the Asian crisis to America's love of conspiracy to show that complexity and randomness are necessary for the free markets to operate in a competitive manner.

On God, Destiny, and Existents by Nasir Al-Din Al-Tusi, ISBN 0842523529

Nasir al-Din al-Tusi (1201-1274) was a renowned authority on and defender of Avicenna, who is regarded as one of the most influential of all Muslim philosophers. A brilliant thinker in his own right, al-Tusi was the author of over one hundred works dealing with astronomy and philosophy as well as Shi'ite theology, history, and mysticism. "On God, Destiny, and Existents is a collection of his treatises that examine such topics as free will and moral responsibility within the framework of his sophisticated determinism. This work epitomizes al-Tusi's unique approach that employs his mathematical skills in the service of philosophical issues. Prime among these is his argument against atomism and in favor of the indivisibility of substances. On God, Destiny, and Existents by Nasir Al-Din Al-Tusi, ISBN 0842523529

Unfinished Business: America's Cuba Policy in the Post-Cold War Era, 1989-2001 by Morris H. Morley, ISBN 0521817161

In this first comprehensive study of U.S. policy toward Cuba in the post-Cold War era, Morris Morley and Chris McGillion draw on interviews with Bush and Clinton policymakers, congressional participants in the policy debate, and leaders of the anti-sanctions business community to argue that Bush and Clinton operated within the same Cold War framework that shaped the Cuba policy of their predecessors. They also demonstrate that U.S. policy after 1989 was driven principally by domestic imperatives. The result was the pursuit of a policy that had nothing to do with its stated objectives of promoting reforms in Cuba and everything to do with dismantling Castro's regime. This study also addresses the international consequences: the extraterritorial applications of national laws to America's allies; and a willingness to put in danger the operations of the global free trade regime. Few issues more starkly revealed the degree to which U.S. policymakers exhibited a striking lack of realism about...

Media Power in Central America by Rick J. Rockwell, ISBN 0252028023

Media Power in Central America is the first book in a generation to explore the media landscape in Central America. It captures the political and cultural interplay between the media and those in power in Costa Rica, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, Panama, and Nicaragua. Highlighting the subtle strangulation of opposition media voices in the region, the authors show how the years since the guerrilla wars have not yielded the free media systems that some had expected. Country by country, the authors deal with the specific conditions of government-sponsored media repression, economic censorship, corruption, and consumer trends that shape the political landscape. Challenging the notion of the media as a democratizing force, Media Power in Central America shows how the media are used to block democratic reforms in the region and outlines the difficulties of playing watchdog to rulers who use the media as a tool of power.
