Javaid R. Khwaja analyzes technology and economy in new book
Economic trends, changes flushed
out in ‘Toward a General Theory of Exchange: Strategic Decisions and
Complexity’
LIBERTY, Mo. – As a business
consultant and professor, Dr. Javaid R.
Khwaja watches the economy with a keen eye. His new book, “Toward a
General Theory of Exchange: Strategic Decisions and Complexity” (published by iUniverse), explains the
current economic situation and how technology has influenced its evolution
since the advent of the Internet.
“This work presents the economic science in a refreshing manner, and
places it in a modern context, tracing out the ramifications of the impact of
such a paradigm shift,” says Khwaja.
At 584 pages, the book is packed full of useful information and thorough
explanations of the current economic environment. Khwaja discusses how
technology, specifically the Internet, has affected the social exchanges and
trends in the market.
An excerpt from “Toward a General
Theory of Exchange: Strategic Decisions and Complexity”:
“The
distinction between human and nonhuman, as well as, the actor and actant ……
strikes at the very heart of binary detachments of culture and nature, local
and global, and the like. It visualizes a more organic world where traffic
between links and associations, leads to a general development of networks,
essentially through heterogeneous engineering.”
Khwaja hopes readers will garner a “new view of economy, emergent with
all the attendant complexity of an Internet age, network exchange, instead of
market exchange as the most ubiquitous phenomenon, in most refreshing manner.”
