Reviews

If there is anything that can invariably be experienced in modern economies, then it is their incessant innovative transformation. In this fine volume Buenstorf brings together a selection of cutting edge research papers which jointly give the reader a grasp of how these innovative changes come about. The volume highlights how evolutionary economics keeps track of the transformation processes at various levels. With its well chosen focus on behavioral studies, organizational learning and development, and industrial genealogy the volume covers the currently most dynamic topics in the field. --- Ulrich Witt, Max Planck Institute of Economics, Germany
