Many of the ideas I express in this blog are strictly my own, but when it comes to networks and power laws, many of the ideas come from others. As an introduction to some of these thoughts I recommend the following books:
Ubiquity by Buchanan - this is the best introduction to the universality of networks and power law concepts
Linked by Barabasi - this is a good discussion of network growth and structure
Why Stock Markets Crash by Sornette - this is a quantitative discussion on network simulation of markets
Fooled by Randomness and The Black Swan by Taleb - Not for the timid but I recommend anything by Taleb - more than anything, these are works of philosophy and epistemology
The Misbehavior of Markets by Mandelbrot - an attack on traditional market analysis by one of the greats of chaos theory
The Tipping Point by Gladwell - This was done before much of the current theory was thought about - but it explores the same phenomenon as Linked
