The EconLit Abstract of the reviewed work begins: Explores how we can learn to use adaptive trial and error to solve current complex situations and problems in politics and the social sciences. Discusses conflict, or how organizations learn; creating new ideas that matter, or variation; finding what works for the poor, or selection; climate change, or changing the rules for success; preventing financial meltdowns, or decoupling; the adaptive organization; and adapting and you. Harford is a columnist for the Financial Times. Index.
