Helmsmen and Heroes: Control Theory as a Key to Past and Future Hardcover - 1995

by William Gosling


From the publisher

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 viacontrol 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."
