Network effects are becoming increasingly important in Economics and many teachers will be wanting to introduce or develop network concepts into their teaching in the future.

One of Tutor2u’s favourite economists Paul Ormerod has a new book out on this very subject - ‘Positive Linking: How Networks and Incentives Can Revolutionise the World - he is speaking about it at the RSA on the 12th July. Details here
