Frontiers of evolutionary economics : competition, self-organization, and innovation policy
"Evolutionary economists have been drawn into the modern complexity science literature which attempts to provide an understanding of how and why 'complex adaptive systems' engage in processes of self-organization. The goal is to provide an integrated analysis of both selection and self-organization that is uniquely economic in orientation." "This book will appeal to evolutionary and industrial economists and policymakers involved with issues of innovation and management scientists."--Jacket
