Top review from the United States

James Litsios
4.0 out of 5 stars Historical but no breakthrough
Reviewed in the United States on September 14, 2010
This book concludes in 1971 that a new field of social dynamics is emerging. That did not happen, maybe because of lack of real value of these simulations, maybe because of the lack political will. Possibly as a reaction to these failures the seventies medias brought us catastrophe theory and chaos theory. Still, even with all the failure of "big simulation", simulation has succeeded to transform many areas of business, finance, and the economy. And because we all like pioneers we like this book and its author, Jay W. Forester, the man in back of the SAGE air defense system. The book includes the DYNAMO code for the "world model" as well as the model in the form of a diagram chart. Many simulation runs are analyzed and commented but unfortunately these read like old newspapers: they are of little value! It may be that the world is pursuing a path very similar to one of those simulations, but how can we accept that!
