Description

A SIMPLE IDEA IS ELABORATED in this book: that people can coordinate with each other without anyone's coordinating them, without a dominant common purpose, and without rules that fully prescribe their relations to each other. For example, any small number of people can through a series of two-person communications arrange a meeting of them all; no central management is required, nor need they all have originally wanted to organize or attend the meeting. When two masses of pedestrians cross an intersection against each other they will slip through each other, each pedestrian making such threatening, adap- tive, or deferential moves as will permit him to cross, despite the number of bodies apparently in his way. Similarly, the representa- tives of a dozen unions and the management of an enterprise can coordinate with each other on wages and working conditions through negotiation.On an immensely larger scale coordination also is often achieved through mutual adjustment of persons not ordered by rule, central management, or dominant common purpose.
