Chapters

Chapter 1

Morphogenesis (pages 1-34)

This chapter analyzes evolution to the end of furnishing a general theory of economic change. The analysis is applicable to both organisms and organizations. The general theory presented here is based on four analytical constructs...

Chapter 2

The Model (pages 35-64)
