About the Book

This important book analyses evolutionary approaches to economic policy. Its main purpose is to explore the policy implications of evolutionary economics, in particular of approaches inspired on the one hand by Schumpeter and revived by Nelson and Winter which deal with industrial evolution under constant institutions and, on the other hand, of approaches inspired by Hayek and North, which analyse the ways in which institutions themselves evolve.

Hitherto evolutionary economists have paid little attention to policy issues, and the relatively few policy implications that they have produced are divergent. Whereas the Neo-Schumpeterian approach has often been used to support political interventions, the Hayekian viewpoint holds that economic policy detracts from economic performance. More systematic evolutionary analysis of economic policy is required if these one-sided findings are to be transcended. Furthermore, such analysis can be expected to develop a coherent theory of economic policy which will plug the gaps and rectify the errors (such as approval of socialist planning and Japanese industrial policies) of both neoclassical and alternative approaches to policy.

Evolutionary economists and policy analysts will find this book of great interest, as will economists and students of economics who are interested in enlarging their views with excursions outside the standard curriculum.

Review :
'. . . the book provides a good overview on the link between evolutionary economics and its relevance for economic policy. . . it makes clear the enormous complexity of economic processes and the policy responses to them. Thus, it seems to us to be a very promising starting point to make evolutionary economics more relevant in economic policy-making.' 'Traditional doctrines of economic policy have largely failed to address the fact that human economies are evolving, complex adaptive systems rather than equilibrating mechanisms. The contributions collected in this volume represent a significant step towards a more adequate, evolutionary approach to economic policy, an approach that is at the same time more modest than its mechanical counterpart, but also more true to the nature of its subject.' 'Until recently evolutionary economics has studied the evolution of organizations and economic systems but paid scant attention to problems of policy. This book may herald the beginning of a new era for this new and vibrant field by presenting a series of thoughtful, intelligent and fair essays that examine limits and opportunities in institutional policy. The authors make big strides developing a systematic evolutionary analysis of economic policies. I am particularly impressed by their attempts to analyze how the evolution of markets and governments often produces unintended effects for policy.' 'Evolutionary economics has long had difficulties with economic policies, as the welfare implications of the various forms of evolutionary theory are by no means clear. This volume analyses arguments for policy to intervene in economies of different institutional makeup. The outcome is no simple set of prescriptions, but the basis for further development of policy thinking. It begins an important task in the research programme of evolutionary economics, especially that from an Austrian perspective, of demonstrating the policy relevance of these theories.'
