Ontology, complex adaptive systems and economics
先介绍复杂性理论及其在经济学中的位置，然后探讨复杂性经济学是否改变了主流，并基于批判实在论和社会本体论指出其差异不如想象中大，最后建议对复杂性进行更细致的本体论理解。
Abstract In this article we first set out what complexity theory is and its place in economics. We then discuss whether complexity economics has observably transformed the mainstream before asking, even if complexity economics did in fact succeed in changing the mainstream, would this make the mainstream significantly different? The purpose of the article is to establish that complexity economics is different than the previously existing mainstream but, drawing on critical realism and social ontology, not as different as one might think. We conclude by suggesting there is scope for a more ontologically nuanced understanding of complexity.
