About the Book

Exploring the theoretical roots of the evolutionary approach, this book demonstrates how it fits squarely into the theoretical mainstream. Focusing on the institutions of evolutionary change and the processes - such as competition - that generate change, it takes account of important European contributions to the discipline, hitherto overshadowed by the American paradigm. As such, the book serves to broaden the current discourse. Whilst evolutionary economics itself is a well researched and widely documented field, this book should be credited with establishing a history of evolutionary economic thought.

Edited by Jürgen G. Backhaus, Krupp Chair in Public Finance and Fiscal Sociology, Erfurt University, Germany

Review :
'This unusual collection brings together well-researched assessments of social economists, mainly Continental, like Schmoller, Wagner, Sombart, Menger, Hobson, Marx. It demonstrates clearly how much in European economic thought deals directly with economic systems, institutional processes, and the restlessness of development over time.' 'This important and stimulating volume, put together by a leading historian of economic doctrine, offers historical, empirical, and theoretical perspectives on evolutionary economic change. It takes stock of a long standing tradition in European economic thought - a tradition that deserves a broad revival in these times in which economic evolution is often too narrowly associated with Darwinian concepts.'
