摘要：
I discuss the role of toy models as theoretical tools for understanding complex systems of interacting agents. I review some concrete examples, in order to illustrate how this approach is able to capture, though in an admittedly stylized way, the interactions and non-linearities which are responsible for the rich phenomenology observed in reality. This allows one to interpret the system's behavior in terms of phase transitions and critical phenomena.
