Elsner (economics, University of Bremen, Germany) and Hanappi (University of Technology, Austria) gather international contributors in economics, political science, and social science to
compare institutional systems, describe institutional state and policy reform strategies, and discuss the further development of evolutionary-institutional economic theory. The book
demonstrates that capitalist market economies remain diverse, in spite of global, technological, informational, and organizational challenges. The audience for the book includes heterodox,
institutional, and evolutionary economists, as well as practitioners interested in policy and institutional reforms. Annotation 穢2009 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
