Sommario/riassunto

Ante-Bellum Alabama:  Town and Country was written to give the reader insight into importaant facers of Alabama's ante-bellum history.  Presented in the form of case studies from the pre-Civil War period, the book deals with a city, a town, a planter's family, rural social life, attitudes concerning race, and Alabama's early agricultural and industrial development.  Ante-bellum Alabama's primary interest was agriculture; the chief crop was King Cotton; and most of the people were agriculturalists.  Towns and cities came into existence to supply the agricultural needs of the state and to proces

Sommario/riassunto

Using models, developed in one branch of science, to describe similar behaviors encountered in a different one, is the essence of a synergetic approach. A wide range of topics has been developed including Agent-based models, econophysics, socio-economic networks, information, bounded rationality and learning in economics, markets as complex adaptive systems - evolutionary economics, multi scale analysis and modeling, nonlinear dynamics and econometrics, physics of risk,



statistical and probabilistic methods in economics and finance. This publication concentrates on process behavior of economic
