Routledge Handbook of Evolutionary Economics

Routledge Handbook of Evolutionary Economics

While dating from post-Classical economists such as Thorstein Veblen and Joseph Schumpeter the inception of the modern field of evolutionary economics is usually dated to the early 1980s. Broadly speaking evolutionary economics sees the economy as undergoing continual evolutionary change. Evolutionary change indicates that these changes were not planned but rather were the result of innovations and selection processes. These often involved winners and losers but most importantly they resulted in actors learning what was and was not working. Evolutionary economics in contrast to mainstream economics emphasises the relevance of variables such as technology institutions decision rules routines or consumer preferences for explaining the complex evolutionary changes in the economy. In so doing evolutionary economics significantly broadens the scope of economic analysis and sheds new light on key concepts and issues of the discipline. This handbook draws on a stellar cast list of international contributors ranging from the founders of the field to the newest voices. The volume explores the current state of the art in the field of evolutionary economics at the levels of the micro (e. g. firms and households) meso (e. g. industries and institutions) and macro (e. g. economic policy structure and growth). Overall the Routledge Handbook of Evolutionary Economics provides an excellent overview of current trends and issues in this rapidly developing field.
