How do social structures and group behaviors arise from the interaction of individuals? Growing Artificial Societies approaches this question with cutting-edge computer simulation techniques. Fundamental collective behaviors such as group formation, cultural transmission, combat, and trade are seen to "emerge" from the interaction of individual agents following a few simple rules. In their program, named Sugarscape, Epstein and Axtell begin the development of a "bottom up" social science that is capturing the attention of researchers and commentators alike. The study is part of the 2050 Project, a joint venture of the Santa Fe Institute, the World Resources Institute, and the Brookings Institution. The project is an international effort to identify conditions for a sustainable global system in the next century and to design policies to help achieve such a system. Growing Artificial Societies is also available on CD-ROM, which includes about 50 animations that develop the scenarios described in the text. Copublished with the Brookings Institution.

The knowledge about how human choices are made has grown considerably in recent years. Fields such as social psychology and brain science are booming, especially in the Netherlands. The very accessible written book How people make choices: the psychology of decision-making gives in more than 100 pages a unique overview of the latest social-psychological insights in this area. In four chapters the 'limitations' of the brain are highlighted: - The irrational brain. People often do not follow the rules for logical and rational choices. However, this sometimes leads to even better decisions. - The automatic brain. Our choices are determined by all kinds of unconscious factors, and we often don't know why we made a certain choice. - The mindless brain. Are we really free to choose? Today, a number of scientists claim that free will does not exist. Are they right? - The social brain. Is man in heart and soul a social being who is really concerned with someone else's fate? Or is it just a thin layer of civilization? The last chapter looks at what the Netherlands would look like if policymakers made use of these findings when setting out policy. How can people be tempted into a healthier lifestyle? To energy-saving behavior? To sensible financial planning? And maybe it can even do something about the chronic political discontent in people.

Een crisissituatie maakt er het samenleven niet gemakkelijker op. Of de dreiging nu van terreur, migratie, racisme of klimaat komt, telkens worden we uitgedaagd om over de betekenis van vrijheid, democratie, burgerzin en solidariteit na te denken. De coronacrisis was voor Patrick Loobuyck een aanleiding om dit opnieuw te doen. Dat is nodig want deze crisis zal wellicht niet de laatste zijn.Toegankelijk en genuanceerd legt hij haarfijn uit wat er op het spel staat. Zijn analyses zijn doorspekt met interessante filosofische uitstapjes, eigen ervaringen en herkenbare anekdotes.Wat in normale tijden vanzelfsprekend is, komt in een crisistijd in alle scherpte op de agenda te staan. Ons democratisch samenlevingsmodel wordt uitgedaagd en we beseffen hoezeer we van elkaar afhankelijk zijn. De corona-inspanning was eigenlijk een grote oefening in wederkerigheid en solidariteit. We deden het uiteindelijk voor elkaar, maar noodzakelijk ook met elkaar. Iedereen draagt een steentje bij. Die solidariteit was soms lastig vol te houden, maar het was tegelijk het enige waar we ons aan konden optrekken.https://www.standaardboekhandel.be/p/met-elkaar-voor-elkaar-9789464014457
