In this light, Cooper's suggestion that central banks should aim for a pattern of small business cycles is eminently sensible. Simply reducing leverage and excess liquidi

nd GLV distributions will be found to give general and stable descriptions of many complex systems that have hitherto been seen as insoluble. What Dewar, Levy and Solomon's systems consist of are three critical elements; a source, a sink, and some sort of self-limiting behaviour. This model is poten

is simply a complicated and interesting sub-section of the MEP function of the earth as a whole. 202 EFTA00625330 Returning to the mathematics, Dewar [Dewar 2005] has produced a seminal paper that derives maximum entropy production from the first principles of information theory and simple maximum

appears not to have percolated into the general physics community despite appearing to have general applicability. The ideas of Paltridge, Lorenz, Dewar and others, along with the mathematical techniques of Levy & Solomon, may not be familiar to many physicists, and I believe may be very powerful in

ormation approach is more obvious mathematically, but like quantum mechanics, somehow seems to imply the necessary presence of an outside observer. Dewar's work, discussed in section 7.3 below may shed some light on this discussion. Both Atkins's and Ben-Naim's books are short and well written, and I
