Reviewing New Approaches and Questions in the Evolutionary Economics

Authors

Abstract

Evolutionary approaches to economics took new energy after Nelson and Winter›s 1982 seminal contribution, which opened new insights both for theoretical and practical circles. the simple assumption of borrowing from biology passed a long way since then to provide a powerful alternative to neo-classical Newtonian views to the  economic system. we have reviewed the development of evolutionary economics in comparison to its older rival  and tried to delineate the current topics and important questions within the field.
