William Petty started this bias in the late 1600s with a tour de force in statistics, picked up by W. Edwards Deming on Japan's behalf in the late 1940s and 50s. Les economistes of the mid 1700s had their prototype input-output table. Kuhn makes much of geocentric and heliocentric astronomy. We might now pick up the geological revolution in plate tectonics, or the biological revolution in prokaryotic origin of the eukaryotic cell. But let's think of what economics needs now in terms of the fractal revolution.
Fractals are a geometry of shapes which are equally rough at all scales.
They give geometers a way to describe in simple terms much more complex shapes and have many important applications, e.g. in data compression and fuzzy photo clarification. There are two aspects of fractals that particularly relate to the economic approach that underlies timesizing and that may be called fractal economics. One is the escape from one step to perfection thinking. It's always gonna be fuzzy, in our case due to the one constant in human evolution - constantly rising expectations. The other is the idea that a simple formula can account for, or in our case, facilitate, extreme variety and variability.
