Chapter 13 in Principles of Institutional and Evolutionary Political Economy, 2022, pp 385-388 from Springer

Abstract: Abstract This volume introduces the issue of institutional and evolutionary principles in two chapters, one on the history (Chap. 2 ), and a second a specific view of contemporary principles for use in this book (Chap. 3 ). The purpose of these Chaps. 2 and 3 is to outline the conceptual edifice to lay the groundwork for later chapters on the application of the principles. The main conclusions of Chaps. 2 and 3 are that there is a set of core general principles (associated with core general concepts), what we call “O’Hara’s principles of political economy”, including (1) historical specificity and evolution, (2) hegemony and uneven development, (3) heterogeneous groups and agents, (4) circular and cumulative causation, (5) contradiction, (6) uncertainty, (7) innovation, plus (8) policy and governance. Certain explicit core principles are then applied to current world problems, such as the coronacrisis (Chap. 4), climate change (Chap. 5), corruption (Chap. 6), AI-robotics (Chap. 7), policy-governance (Chap. 8), money and financial instability (Chap. 9), terrorism and the war on terrorism (Chap. 10), HIV-AIDS (Chap. 11), plus love capital and the nurturance gap (Chap. 12). This conclusion (Chap 13) is followed by a Glossary and Index.
