Description: "Evolutionary economists have been drawn into the modern complexity science literature which attempts to provide an understanding of how and why 'complex adaptive systems' engage in processes of self-organization. The goal is to provide an integrated analysis of both selection and self-organization that is uniquely economic in orientation." "This book will appeal to evolutionary and industrial economists and policymakers involved with issues of innovation and management scientists."--Jacket.
