Frontiers of Evolutionary Economics

Competition, Self-Organization and Innovation Policy

Edited by John Foster, Professor of Economics and Head, School of Economics, University of Queensland, Australia and J. Stanley Metcalfe, Emeritus Professor, University of Manchester, UK

Modern evolutionary economics is now nearly two decades old and in this excellent book, a distinguished group of evolutionary economists identify the most important developments and discuss the direction of future research.

By moving away from traditional concerns with the operation of selection mechanisms towards a preoccupation with the manner in which the novelty and variety provide fuel for such mechanisms, the authors identify a key development in the field.

‘This compilation by leading protagonists is a must for a greater understanding of the world we are living in and wanting to see change for the better.’
