In Knowledge, Innovation and Economy, Witold Kwasnicki examines industrial dynamics from an evolutionary perspective, applying a biological model to the analysis of economic problems.
Focusing on issues of methodology, knowledge development, and cultural and social evolution, the first part of the book develops parallels, similarities and discrepancies between knowledge development and biological evolution. An evolutionary model of industrial development, presented in the second part of the book, incorporates both the industrial and innovation processes. The author compares and contrasts this model’s behaviour with that of well-known, classical models of development. Contemporary economic problems relating to cumulative causation and path dependency are discussed in the final chapter.
Knowledge, Innovation and Economy provides new insights into industrial and economic development which will be welcomed by economists concerned with industrial processes and organization, the innovation process and technological change.

‘This book presents an excellent evolutionary analysis of core constructs of industrial economics using a simulation model targeted primarily on pricing strategy and product competition. . . . this is a solid contribution to the stream of work focused on the complexity of industry growth processes. . . . the work deserves attention from those using simulation models of industry development and those who are interested in developing the product/demand side of evolutionary theory.’

‘这本书做得很好。首先，它对自然科学和经济学中的方法论和知识的性质发表了非常有趣的评论。其次，它提供了对一般进化过程的丰富而周到的观点，尤其是经济学中的进化过程。第三，它包含一个非常有趣的仿真模型，以及关于经济分析中这种模型的角色和局限性的一般性讨论。’

‘这本书的优点在于努力开发出一种优雅的非尼古拉古典方法，就像对进化传统的局限性和弱点的清晰理解一样。作者认识到，进化方法仍然“远非连贯和完整的理论体系”。正如作者想暗示的那样，这种方法的承诺是由于其在现代科学的基础上的根源而产生的。这本书对于经济学的研究生以及工业和创新领域的研究人员都是必不可少的。’
