Description
Discover the landmark new big idea that is revolutionising our understanding of human interaction
Compelling... Professor Jackson manages not only to present a lot of complex research engagingly but to show how the key concepts of network theory relate to a wide range of contemporary issues, from financial contagions to the spread of fake news.
Beautifully readable and fascinating
This thought-provoking book explains how and why human networks matter so much, and why they can be a source of strength and fragility. A must-read.
Matthew Jackson leads us through a brilliantly insightful tour of how the structures of social networks shape our lives and indeed our very humanity
Spanning a rich array of topics, including the spread of epidemics and financial crises, political polarization, and economic inequality, The Human Network is a highly readable yet deeply informed survey of social life viewed through the lens of networks.
The study of networks is one of the liveliest and most interesting topics in contemporary economic theory... Timely and beautifully written.
Very engaging and worthwhile.
