Whether we use them or are simply affected by them, they act as metaphors that help us better understand the increasingly complex problems facing us in the modern world. Without models, we couldn't begin to tackle three of the major challenges facing modern society: regulation of the economy, climate change and the COVID-19 pandemic. Yet in recent years, the validity of the models we use has been hotly debated and there has been renewed awareness of the disastrous consequences when the makers and interpreters of models get things wrong.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDrawing on contemporary examples from finance, climate and health policy, Erica Thompson explores what models are, why we need them, how they work and what happens when they go wrong. This is not a book that argues we should do away with models, but rather, that we need to properly understand how they are constructed - and how some of the assumptions that underlie the models we use can have significant unintended consequences. Unexpectedly humorous, thought-provoking and passionate, this is essential reading for everyone.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbutton class=\"product-form__submit button button--full-width \" onclick=\"window.location.href='\/search?q=title:Thompson%2BErica%2BEscape%2Bfrom%2BModel%2BLand'\"\u003eSök fler exemplar av denna bok\u003c\/button\u003e\u003cbutton class=\"product-form__submit button button--full-width \" onclick=\"window.location.href='\/search?q=title:Erica%2BThompson'\"\u003eFler böcker av Erica Thompson\u003c\/button\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003cdiv style=\"padding: 0 20px 0 20px; border: thin solid #000000;\"\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-size: smaller; font-weight:bold;\"\u003eAnvänd gärna länkarna nedan för att hitta liknande böcker.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-size: smaller;\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eFörfattare:\u003c\/b\u003e \u003ca href=\"\/search?q=title:Thompson+Erica\"\u003eThompson, Erica\u003c\/a\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTitel:\u003c\/b\u003e \u003ca href=\"\/search?q=title:Escape+from+Model+Land\"\u003eEscape from Model Land\u003c\/a\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFörlag:\u003c\/b\u003e \u003ca href=\"\/search?q=vendor:Hachette+UK+Distribution\"\u003eHachette UK Distribution\u003c\/a\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eArtikelnr:\u003c\/b\u003e 140955234\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Hachette UK Distribution","offers":[{"title":"Förlagsny bok \/ Häftad","offer_id":44372699939083,"sku":"140955234","price":218.0,"currency_code":"SEK","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0651\/8856\/1163\/files\/140955234_073cc496-d194-4cff-866d-d4279505dd01.jpg?v=1701556517","url":"https:\/\/bok.hstrom.se\/products\/140955234","provider":"bok.hstrom.se | Antikvariat \u0026 Bokhandel","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
