Systems of Innovation

Selected Essays in Evolutionary Economics

克里斯托弗·弗里曼末前退休教授essor, SPRU, University of Sussex, UK

Books on innovation have proliferated in the last quarter of a century, during what the author describes as ‘the Schumpeterian Renaissance’. This volume provides an authoritative account of many of these new developments and represents the foundation of much ongoing research on innovation.

‘Being asked to write a foreword to Chris Freeman’s Selected Essays has been for me an honour and a privilege. . . As one of the most prominent founding fathers of the economics of innovation as a distinct sub-discipline of social science and as influential maître-à-penser within and outside evolutionary economics and economic history, he has deserved for quite a while the most prestigious recognition in economics. . .’
