Items related to Helmsmen and Heroes: Control Theory as a Key to Past...
Why do we admire sportsmen and artists rather than salesmen and lawyers? Why are we attracted to strong political leaders, where flexible responsive leadership is demonstrably more effective? This book looks at the range of questions that can be examined via control theory. This is a layperson's introduction to control theory, explaining how control affects politics and economics as well as the more obvious fields of science and technology.
