Buch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - Why do wealthy societies fracture Why do democracies drift toward instability even in times of material abundance And what hidden forces shape the path between flourishing and collapse In The Moral Ecology of Collapse: Essays on Inequality, Complexity, and the Instability of Democratic Societies, Lawrence R. Kunkel offers a sweeping, interdisciplinary exploration of the systems that govern modern life-economic, social, psychological, technological, and political. Drawing from complexity science, game theory, chaos theory, and moral philosophy, Kunkel reveals how small disturbances in unequal, highly interconnected societies can cascade into polarization, cognitive capture, institutional decay, and democratic fragility.Through vivid metaphors, phase-space models, and real-world case studies, this book reveals the profound patterns underlying modern instability: the rise of oligarchic attractors, the feedback loops of social stratification, the emergence of collective illusions, and the strategic incentives that drive societies toward brinkmanship rather than reform. Kunkel argues that inequality is not merely an economic outcome but a systemic condition that alters cognition, behavior, institutions, and ultimately the moral fabric of society.>Clear, urgent, and intellectually ambitious, this book addresses economists, social thinkers, policymakers, and citizens seeking to understand and shape the forces that shape our collective future.…

Buch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - Economic Problems in a Nonlinear World offers a powerful new way to understand the crises of modern capitalism. Drawing on complexity economics, nonlinear dynamics, network theory, and moral political economy, Lawrence R. Kunkel argues that the most urgent economic problems of our time cannot be understood through the old language of equilibrium, efficiency, and isolated market transactions. Inequality, inflation, debt, market concentration, financial instability, labor disruption, ecological stress, and democratic fragility are not separate problems. They are interconnected outcomes of an adaptive economic system in which feedback loops, thresholds, expectations, institutional trust, and power relations continually reshape one another. Modern economies do not move smoothly toward balance. They can settle into good or bad attractors. They can generate prosperity or stagnation, resilience or fragility, legitimacy or collapse. Small shocks can cascade through financial networks. Gradual pressures can produce sudden systemic change. Individual choices by firms, households, investors, workers, and governments can create large-scale patterns that no one intended, including bubbles, bank runs, inflation expectations, labor shortages, supply-chain bottlenecks, inequality, and political distrust. This book challenges the assumption that markets are self-correcting mechanisms detached from moral and institutional life. Economic systems are not merely price systems. They are moral-complex adaptive systems in which material outcomes, social trust, institutional legitimacy, ecological limits, and democratic stability are deeply entangled. At once analytical and urgent, Economic Problems in a Nonlinear World invites readers to rethink economic governance for an age of instability. It argues that policy must move beyond narrow technical adjustment and toward structural redesign capable of building fairer, more resilient, and more humane economies. For readers interested in inequality, inflation, debt, markets, crisis, democratic stability, and the future of capitalism, this book offers a compelling framework for understanding why economic life has become so unstable and what kind of institutional imagination is required to repair it.…
