26 OCTOBER, 2021: The Centre for Teaching and Learning at IIMB hosted a webinar on ‘Everything Matters: How Complexity Theory Changes Our View of History and Economics’ , on October 25th, as part of its Samiksha series of webinars. Shri Sanjeev Sanyal, Principal Economic Advisor to the Govt. of India, was the keynote speaker.
He drew attention to the random agents and factors that continuously interact with each other in an unpredictable manner and create a world that is inherently non-deterministic. He further added that a true complex and non-deterministic system doesn’t have an end point, and so it keeps evolving. He also talked about the ways this idea provides a framework of flexible thinking for designing economic policies, interpreting history, and so on.
