Description
Philip Ball's investigation into human nature explores how our individual decisions contribute to the complex patterns of society. By examining the impact of large numbers of people making choices, he reveals how we can better understand human behaviour.
This thought-provoking book encourages us to reflect on our own actions, from everyday purchases to voting and consumerism. Ball's analysis draws on a wide range of fields, including economics, sociology and psychology, to show how the aggregate behaviour of individuals can be both constructive and destructive.
