Description
This is a collection of articles by the author on the application of cellular automata and complexity theory to economic problems. He analyzes economic systems as interactions of highly complex components and uses the theories of generative linguistics and cellular automata to establish that the complexity level of economic systems is, in principle, that of a Turing machine or general-purpose computer.
