 | Deep Simplicity: Bringing Order to Chaos and Complexity by John Gribbin
Buy new: $16.47 / Used from: $9.51 This is a good recent survey of complexity science, not about economics per se. But to grasp complexity economics, you really need to get a basis in general complexity. I still think Gleick's book, Chaos, is great, but Deep Simplicity is more up to date.
