简介：Summary: Publisher Summary 1 Hodgson (business studies, U. of Hertfordshire, UK) brings together 26 previously published articles from the past ten years that explore recent changes in both the "old" and the "new" institutional economics (based respectively in the works of Americans like Thorstein Veblen and the Austrian school of Carl Menger). Separate sections consider the role of constraints in institutional evolution, the role of statutory interventions in institutions, and the impossibility of beginning from a theoretical "state of nature" in examining the development of socioeconomic institutions.
