ecosystem analysis of the world economy

“Do you feel that your ideology pushed you to make decisions that you wish you had not made?”

Economies and ecosystems are what Levin calls complex adaptive systems, ones, he says, “that are made up of lots of individual agents that act together in smaller scales.” The collective consequences of those actions exhibit the hallmark features of complexity. A key feature of complex adap tive systems is that they can settle into a number of stable equilibria: The tech bubble of the 1990s was one such state, but so was the Great Depression. Similarly, in ecosystems, it is natural for species to go extinct; so too is it for corporations.
