Edward Elgar Publishing Complexity and the Economy: Implications for Economic Policy (In Association With the European Association for Evolutionary Political Economy)

Product Description Complexity and the Economy brings together a range of perspectives from internationally-renowned scholars. The book surveys conceptual approaches to understanding complexity as a key subject in evolutionary and political economy.

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. Complexity has become something of a leitmotif among scholars with these interests. This book contributes specific, distinctive and policy-oriented elaborations, criticisms, applications and analyses of economic phenomena as interpreted complexly.Drawing together strands of research with the aim of applying complexity theory, this book will be of great interest to researchers of political economy and evolutionary economics. Review '. . . this important volume makes an invaluable contribution to the knowledge economy.
