This book aims to better understanding of current markets through studying the implications of living in an information age. It examines the impacts that\u003cbr\u003einformation has on how markets function, and presents a novel market theory in which information takes centre stage when analyzing how the economy functions and evolves. It depicts markets with three categories of actors (consumers, businesses, and information intermediaries), and predicts the\u003cbr\u003egrowing importance of the role of information intermediaries, or 'matchmakers', as facilitators of transactions between consumers and businesses. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cem\u003eMatchmakers and Markets\u003c\/em\u003e will guide readers to reflect on their own role in the economy. It provides numerous scenarios and examples from the real-world economy, enabling readers to ask new questions and draw their own conclusions. The aim of this book is to stimulate the reader's own thinking, \u003cbr\u003ewhether a consumer on the high street, or an investor on Wall Street, a policy maker in the government armchair, or an entrepreneur dreaming to make the next big thing in the world. This book will stir up discussion and debate as the claims and conclusions move away from mainstream theories.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Yi-Cheng Zhang\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Oxford University Press, USA\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/30\/2020\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 224\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.75lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.70h x 5.50w x 0.80d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780198840985\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eYi-Cheng Zhang, \u003cem\u003eProfessor of Theoretical Physics, Fribourg University, Switzerland\u003c\/em\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eYi-Cheng Zhang is a theoretical physicist, educated in China, Austria, Italy, and the US.
