The Wealth of Nations
| Hi-index | 0.00 |
One might view the international political world as a system of nations, each described by a unique transfer function. Existing system engineering methods and computer techniques might then be applied to this multi-variable system with the hope that a better understanding might be achieved for the rise of international problems and their subsequent solution. This paper describes the design, and actual demonstration by analog computer techniques, of a colonial socio-economic system which included national growth and national behavior models. The national growth model included such variables as resource, opportunity and incentive with the hopes of evaluating the asymptotic behavior of the total population. The national behavior model described which one of the two political alternatives would be advocated by elements of the organized native class based on the environment defined by the growth model.
