Some famous pioneers together with the most promising new practitioners in the field show within this book how they define their subject. This is an authoritative survey of important branches of evolutionary economics, containing innovative new perspectives on market dynamics and evolutionary institutional mechanisms. The authors also tackle enduring problems in the field such as profound uncertainty and the significance of knowledge in economics.

‘Hanappi and Elsner have brought together in this volume a group of essays that reveal both the diversity and continuity of the European contribution to evolutionary institutional economics. The essays are rich in methodological significance and analytical detail. The range of topics covered is truly impressive, reflecting the multifaceted nature of this literature. It should serve as an important reference on evolutionary institutional economics for many years to come.’

‘With this important collection, Hardy Hanappi and Wolfram Elsner, have brought together an outstanding volume that is likely to have its impact on the development of evolutionary economics. Expansive in its scope, the innovative contributions range from evolutionary and institutional mechanisms, dynamic market complexity as well as ontological groundwork of the rapidly emerging new evolutionary economics science. The book will be of great interest to academics, students and researchers of evolutionary and institutional economics.’
