Cellular automata, which are used in these studies and the models to which Beinhocker refers, were invented by John von neumann, not S. Wolfram BTW. Philip Mirowski’s “Machine Dreams: How Economics Became a Cyborg Science” (Cambridge UP 2002) gives some good historical background as to how such methods have enetered into economics.

This a fascinating area of research with which I have long wanted to become more familiar. There are many applications at the intersections of law, economics, and the various intellectual systems we regularly discuss. I have been meaning to welcome Jim Chen and his co-bloggers J.B. Ruhl and Dan Farber to the blogosphere, and this is a good opportunity — check out Jurisdynamics (at http://jurisdynamics.blogspot.com/).

Most serious policy wonks understand “the fractals” some just don’t like the inferences!
