The economic theory of the last centuries is bursting at the seams. None of its models can be used to predict crises today. In 2007, the IMF predicted a bright future for the global economy, and in 2008 turbulent times came. The reason for "scientific blindness" is simple: no one takes into account the nature of people. Scientific models work only as long as all the alleged participants in the process - consumers, companies, governments - act "like a damned robot." But economics is a complex mechanism, the movement of which depends on an infinite number of human decisions. Richard Buxteiber offers a revolutionary agent approach. It takes into account the consequences of our interaction with the outside world and its impact on us. The agent economy is ready to face reality - to effectively predict economic crises and prevent them!
