Complexity and the Economy

Edited by John Finch and Magali Orillard

in Books from Edward Elgar Publishing

Abstract: The authors examine the causes and consequences of complexity among the broadly economic phenomena of firms, industries and socio-economic policy. The book makes a valuable contribution to the increasingly prominent subject of complexity, especially for those whose interests include evolutionary, behavioural, political and social approaches to understanding economics and economic phenomena.
