"The world-wide distribution of David Hamilton’s book, Evolutionary Economics, established his international reputation as a leading figure in the literature of American institutional economics. But his contributions to evolutionary institutional economics are also contained in the steady stream of articles he published over the last half of the twentieth century. This definitive collection of his publications makes that body of work immediately accessible. Hamilton’s refreshingly original ideas, clothed as they are in a graceful prose that is seldom found in economic writing, are as pertinent today as they were when he wrote them. He demonstrates why mainstream economics is generally irrelevant to the world in which we live and how a reorientation of the discipline to an evolutionary perspective would correct this deficiency. "

"David Hamilton emerged in the 1950s as one of the most important American figures in the original tradition of institutional economics. Among his many forceful and enduring themes is his emphasis on the evolutionary and Darwinian character of Veblenian institutionalism. This is a very useful collection of his writings."
- Geoff Hodgson, Research Professor in Business Studies, Business School, University of Hertfordshire, UK.
