Why evolutionary realism underpins evolutionary economic analysis and theory: A reply to Runde's critique

Kurt Dopfer () and Jason Potts

Journal of Institutional Economics, 2010, vol. 6, issue 3, 401-413

Abstract: This paper offers a reply to Jochen Runde's critical appraisal of the ontological framework underpinning Dopfer and Potts's (2008) General Theory of Economic Evolution. We argue that Runde's comprehensive critique contains several of what we perceive to be misunderstandings in relation to the key concepts of ‘generic’ and ‘meso’ that we seek here to unpack and redress.
