Probabilistic Economic Theory - страница 12

In conclusion, it is natural that the direct mechanical transfer of methods and concepts of physics into the economic theory would be impossible. We only can accurately borrow and transfer general concepts and formal methods, since economic and physical phenomena are principally different in their essence and content. In this book and within the framework of this approach, the basic concepts and general principles of physical economics are developed and described. On this basis, we have developed the complex of the principally new quantitative methods of calculation and analysis of many-good, many-agent market economies that we named probabilistic economic theory.

“For a social collective has no existence and reality outside of the individual members’ actions. The life of a collective is lived in the actions of the individuals constituting its body. There is no social collective conceivable which is not operative in the actions of some individuals. The reality of a social integer consists in its directing and releasing definite actions on the part of individuals. Thus the way to a cognition of collective wholes is through an analysis of the individuals’ actions”.
