Econophysics for philosophers
Abstract
In this essay review article I present a philosophers' guide to econophysics, a relatively new field that applies the concepts and methods of statistical physics (and, more generally, other areas of physics) to economics (especially the economics of financial markets). I do this by looking at eleven recent books on econophysics.
