Schumpeter and the pendulum: how evolution was whipped out in the construction of canonical economics

Francisco Louçã

Chapter 4 in Evolution and Path Dependence in Economic Ideas, 2001, pp 71-90 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.
