Description

The chapters reflect the broad range of evolutionary thinking that has begun to emerge in contemporary economies. Inspired by earlier evolutionists, the contributors draw on recent developments in the philosophy of science and computer simulation methods to probe a number of economic issues. These include the evolution of money, technology, the firm, and the law. The relation between economic and ecological evolution is also explored.
