Description
Currently, economics and cognitive science are heavily rooted inNewtonian physics, successfully borrowing a great deal of modelingtools from it. This is a great achievement. You do not need quantummechanics or theories of relativity to build a house or bridge. Nevertheless,no one would deny the importance of modern theoretical physics. I believemany intellectuals have realized the need to go beyond the limitationsof the Newtonian tradition for means of social science research. The bigquestion is how to do it and how to do it right. This book aims to integrateeconomics and cognitive science by applying theoretical physics from amodeling perspective. During the course of this book, necessary backgroundknowledge preparations for understanding the content topics are also briefl yprovided. Thus, this book is designed to be conceptually and instrumentallyself-contained. Everyone interested should be able to read it.
