Agency, Institutions, and Darwinism in Evolutionary Economic Geography
回应了MacKinnon等人关于经济地理学中演化思想的讨论，强调“演化”一词的多义性，并论证达尔文原理可推广至社会现象，且不削弱能动性、制度与权力的重要性。
abstract The article by Danny MacKinnon, Andrew Cumbers, Andy Pike, Kean Birch, and Robert McMaster continues the dialogue on evolutionary ideas within economic geography. In response, I argue that the word “evolution” has a variety of meanings and that more precision is required. This commentary also addresses the possibility of generalizing Darwinian principles to evolving social phenomena. It upholds that institutions and power fit into this Darwinian framework and that it does not undermine the importance of agency, deliberation, or choice. A word such as “determinism” should also be used more carefully, as it has multiple meanings.
