Paul ORMEROD will present his

latest book:

The financial crisis has shown us that conventional economics is drastically limited by its failure to comprehend networks. The book explores the limits of conventional economics and why it needs to embrace the power of the networks – through ‘positive linking’. Our social and economic worlds have been revolutionised. The Internet has transformed communications and for the first time in human history, more than half of us live in cities. We are increasingly aware of the choices, decisions, behaviours and opinions of other people. Network effects – the fact that a person can and often does decide to change his or her behaviour simply on the basis of copying what others do – pervade the modern world. To grapple successfully with the current financial crisis, businesses and politicians need to grasp the perils and possibilites of positive linking.

The book is accessible on Amazon here.

NOUVELLES APPROCHES FACE AUX DEFIS ECONOMIQUESNous sommes heureux de vous inviter à un séminaire

présenté par Paul ORMEROD

LES LIAISONS POSITIVES : Comment les réseaux et les incitations

peuvent révolutionner le monde

Mardi 22 avril 2014, 12h30 - 14h00CC10, Centre de Conférence de l’OCDE

Inscriptions sur EMS ou R.S.V.P. à [email protected] Pour plus d’informations : http://www.oecd.org/naec/seminars.htm

Paul ORMEROD présentera son dernier livre :

La crise financière nous a montré que l’économie conventionnelle est considérablement limitée par son incapacité à comprendre les réseaux. Le livre explore les limites de l’économie conventionnelle et les raisons pour lequelles elle se doit de prendre en compte la puissance des réseaux à travers des «liaisons positives». Notre univers social et économique a été révolutionné. Internet a transformé les communications et pour la première fois de l’Histoire, plus de la moitié de la population vit dans des villes. Nous sommes de plus en plus conscients des choix, des décisions, des comportements et des opinions des autres individus. Les effets de réseau, c’est-à-dire le fait qu’une personne puisse décider de changer son comportement par rapport à celui des autres, envahissent le monde moderne. Pour s’attaquer avec succès à la crise financière actuelle, les entreprises et les hommes politiques doivent comprendre les dangers et les possibilites des liaisons positives.

Le livre est accessible sur Amazon ici.
