Say two Amazon merchants start using an algorithm to reprice their books based upon the prices set by rivals. Fine. Now say that two merchants pick
one another's prices and a recursive repricing loop begins. What happens next? Perhaps you assume that the automatic price war would send prices spiraling rapidly down. In the case of Peter Lawrence's
The Making of a Fly,
you would be mistaken. [Michael Eisen via
