Young people are talking about complex issues, such as animal rights, genetically modified foods and cloning, and bringing their views to bear in the classroom. How can teachers best respond to this? How can they become sufficiently informed about such rapidly advancing technologies?

In April 2007, a report produced by the International Monetary Fund concluded that the world economy was in great shape only for the biggest economic crisis since the Great Depression to hit just months later. How could economists have got it so wrong? When engineers try to understand complex systems, they are forced to make simplifying assumptions.

It appears that mainstream economics set off on the wrong foot....
