Reviews
“Tusset’s book is a thought-provoking study on the origins and development of the peculiar discipline of econophysics … . This may be the most relevant lesson for econophysicists to take home from this interesting book.” (Enrico Petracca, History of Economic Thought and Policy, Vol. 2, 2019)
“This book takes a fascinating journey through several stylized facts, and the economic foundations theorized by the Italian “economic physics” tradition that has its methodological roots in Galileo. Towering figures - of the likes of Pareto - are seen in a convincing new light, in a scenario where heterogeneity, emergence and complexity converge in the world of econophysics.” (Mauro Gallegati, Professor of Macroeconomics, Polytechnic University of Marche)
