The Blindfolded Masochist: Creation Versus Destruction: The Power of Economic Ne

Description: The Blindfolded Masochist by Michael Baxter Estimated delivery 4-14 business days Format Paperback Condition Brand New Description We stand at a pivotal moment; if we can remove our blindfolds then the network in which we live can create wealth for all, if we fail then we face crisis on a monumental scale... Publisher Description The Blindfolded Masochist examines how our evolution and psychological makeup has led us to be blind as individuals. We are unable to see the effects of our individual behaviour on the wider society, and equally unequipped to observe the wider consequence of our behaviour as a group. As such, in our ignorance, we bring harm upon ourselves; we are blindfolded masochists. Understanding network theory: how crowds operate and the intelligence and herd mentality of groups is the key to understanding the modern economy, and resolving the problems it faces.This book will demonstrate: o How networks underpin everything around us o The basics of network theory, game theory and how an individuals behaviour is affected by the networks they are part of o The positive and negative effects of group behaviour, how the group can innovate and cooperate, but also how quickly errors of judgement are established and reinforced o The impact of groupthink on historical events, particularly with respect to politics and economics; specifically war and financial crises o That we have the technology available to us to maximise the extraordinarily creative potential of the network and limit its destructive potential. Author Biography Michael Baxters somewhat quirky writing, in combination with his take on the economy, has been drawing a wide audience for several years. He launched the daily newsletter Investment and Business News back in 2003, drawing rave feedback from readers and growing steadily in popularity. At the tail-end of 2006 it was sold to Defaqto, with Michael continuing to write the newsletter editorial. Today his views on the economy are frequently quoted in the media.
