The evolution of future wealth

Article Abstract:

Economists have designed a model for predicting the volatility of stock prices that is related to the thermodynamic equations, but they should shift their attention from physics to biology, because the biosphere and the living things in it represent the most complex systems known in nature. Applying the lessons learnt from biology to technology will bring in a remarkable era of innovation and growth in the future.
