'This book is an important contribution to the growing literature on evolutionary economics, concentrating, as it does, on the human factor in economic evolution and avoiding the unconvincing arguments based almost entirely on mere analogy with biological processes of much of the writing in this field.' -- John Laurent, History of Economics Review
