- Summary
- "We are at the beginning of a new science of society made possible by the arrival of longitudinal data. This in turn has heralded a new era for public policy making as policy makers look to proactive rather than reactive solutions. The Dynamics of Modern Society, the first book to analyse these two developments from an international perspective, introduces the reader to dynamic analysis, demonstrating its contribution to public policy formulation in Europe and the USA."--Jacket
