Richard Goodwin’s recruitment of non-linearity into a monolithic scientific community: an homage

Cambridge Journal of Economics, 2015, vol. 39, issue 6, 1587-1590

Abstract: The historical hypothesis is proposed that Richard Goodwin’s seminal decision to base economic theory on the non-linear mathematics of chaos theory had to do with his visit to Tubingen in the mid-1980s. In the decade after, another non-linear dynamical phenomenon related to chaos, the Milnor attractor of differential topology, was recruited into mathematical economics. The development swerve is outlined in a bit more detail.
