Thorstein Veblen and post-Darwinian economics
探讨凡勃伦为何坚持经济学应成为“演化科学”，结合生物学发展分析其“后达尔文主义”经济学的内涵与特征，对理解制度经济学起源有价值。
Thorstein Veblen is noted for his view that economics should be an "evolutionary science." However, although the term "evolutionary" has been adopted in general terms by subsequent institutional economists, there has been remarkably little detailed exploration, informed by biology, of what Veblen meant by an "evolutionary" science and the character of the "post-Darwinian" economics that he attempted to build. This essay explores the reasons for Veblen's attachment to Darwinism, informed by developments in biology itself, and identifies some distinctive and enduring features of Veblen's evolutionary theory.
