Low-Cost Policy Lunches

The Complexity frame does away with the limiting assumptions upon which the standard policy frame is based. It doesn't assume people are hyper rational; it doesn't assume system dynamics are linear; it doesn't assume tastes are unaffected by process; it doesn't assume government can control; it doesn't assume the competitive market can somehow exist independently of government and other social natural systems; it doesn't assume the institutional structure is fixed. Through what is doesn't assume, the complexity policy frame changes the nature of the policy discussion.
