Evolution and Path Dependence in Economic Ideas

Edited by Pierre Garrouste and Stavros Ioannides

in Books from Edward Elgar Publishing

Abstract: Since the 1980s there has been a renewed interest in attempts to introduce a sense of history into economic literature. In this book, the authors argue that it is not possible to explain a state of the world without first analysing the processes that lead to that state. The contributions collected in this volume share a critical stance towards the timelessness and a historical theorizing of mainstream economics.
