Economics is changing radically This paradigm shift the biggest in the field for over a century will have profound implications for business government & society for decades to come In this groundbreaking book economic thinker & writer Eric Beinhocker surveys the cutting-edge ideas of the leading economists physicists biologists & cognitive scientists who are fundamentally reshaping economics & brings their work alive for a broad audience These researchers argue that the economy is a 'complex adaptive system' more akin to the brain the internet or an ecosystem than to the static picture of economic systems portrayed by traditional theory They claim it is the evolutionary process of differentiation selection & amplification acting on designs for technologies social institutions & businesses that drives growth in the economy over time If Adam Smith provided the inspiration for economics in the twentieth century it is Charles Darwin who is providing it in the twenty-first If we can understand how evolution creates wealth then we can better answer the question ' How can we create more wealth for the benefit of individuals businesses & society?' Beinhocker shows how ' Complexity Economics' turns conventional wisdom on its head in areas such as business strategy the design of organisations the workings of stock markets & public policy As sweeping in scope as its title The Origin of Wealth is a landmark book that shatters orthodox economic theory & will rewire our thinking about how we came to be here

When Jacob & Wilhelm Grimm published their Children's & Household Tales in 1812 followed by a second volume in 1815 they had no idea that such stories as " Rapunzel" " Hansel & Gretel" & " Cinderella" would become the most celebrated in the world Yet few people today are familiar with the majority of tales from the two early volumes since in the next four decades the Grimms would publish six other editions each extensively revised in content & style For the very first time The Original Folk & Fairy Tales of the Brothers Grimm makes available in English all 156 stories from the 1812 & 1815 editions These narrative gems newly translated & brought together in one beautiful book are accompanied by sumptuous new illustrations from award-winning artist Andrea Dezso From " The Frog King" to " The Golden Key" wondrous worlds unfold--heroes & heroines are rewarded weaker animals triumph over the strong & simple bumpkins prove themselves not so simple after all Esteemed fairy tale scholar Jack Zipes offers accessible translations that retain the spare description & engaging storytelling style of the originals Indeed this is what makes the tales from the 1812 & 1815 editions unique--they reflect diverse voices rooted in oral traditions that are absent from the Grimms' later more embellished collections of tales Zipes's introduction gives important historical context & the book
