The Learning Economy as a Phase in Economic Development: Contradictions and Institutional Responses

Björn Johnson

Chapter 2.4 in The Innovation for Development Report 2010–2011, 2011, pp 109-120 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract Economic theory is largely formulated on a general level, without explicit reference to time and space. Institutional assumptions are often implicit, if not absent. If spelled out at all, they are usually limited to competitive markets and private property rights. Economic processes do not seem to be situated in real time, but in a kind of abstract time in which history does not matter.
