Is it Albert-László Barabási's conclusion that centralization is inevitable?
- golemotron 6y agoThere are different kinds of inevitable. In systems with preferential attachmnent dynamics, hubs grow. You can break them up, but growth (and centralization) is the natural tendency barring any other force. Barabasi doesn't form conclusions on this, he shows the math and articulates the process.
- boomlinde 6y agoI don't know what different kinds of "inevitable" exist, but I take it to mean unavoidable; inescapable. In that sense, that there is a natural tendency barring any other force towards centralization doesn't mean that it's inevitable.
