Forecast: What Physics, Meteorology, and the Natural Sciences Can Teach Us About Economics by Mark Buchanan is a nonfiction book in economics and science writing that challenges the way readers think about markets. Rather than treating the economy as a stable, self-correcting machine, Buchanan presents it as a complex, adaptive system more like weather than a textbook model. Drawing on physics, meteorology, ecology, and complexity science, he argues that financial markets are shaped by feedback loops, thresholds, contagion, and instability, which makes prediction difficult but not meaningless. The book is less interested in offering a single grand theory than in showing why conventional equilibrium thinking often fails and how scientific methods from other disciplines can improve our understanding of economic turbulence. It is aimed at readers who want a serious but accessible critique of standard economics and a broader framework for thinking about uncertainty, volatility, and systemic risk.
