The Model Thinker by Scott E. Page
What You Need to Know to Make Data Work for You
Argues that no single model captures the complexity of real-world systems and advocates using multiple, complementary models to improve explanation, prediction, and decision-making. Surveys tools from statistics, game theory, networks, evolutionary dynamics, and agent-based modeling, showing when each applies and how combining them increases robustness. Through practical examples across economics, policy, and science, it teaches how to select, compare, and ensemble models to better navigate complexity and uncertainty.
