els that arise from the Classical view. This puzzle is particularly intriguing because the best mathematician who ever worked on economic problems, John von Neumann, introduced the key mathematical tools in a study of such a Classical, infinite-horizon, production-based model before Arrow and Debreu used the sa

l idea was that actions that were rewarded would be repeated and those that were punished would not, until the desired behavior was achieved. Even in Skinner’s day, this simple process, repeated over and over, could lead to complex behavior. Computers are designed to perform simple operations over and over

rnet, everyone doing any of those things became a data generator. The result was an exponential rather than a linear rate of knowledge accumulation. John von Neumann also has a cameo in Zhe Human Use of Human Beings, for game theory. What Wiener missed here was von Neumann’s seminal role in digitizing computation.
