FOUNDATIONS OF ECONOMIC EVOLUTION: A TREATISE ON THE NATURAL PHILOSOPHY OF ECONOMICS

Book ID/图书代码： 13B66419

English Summary/英文概要： The book develops an entirely new and independent theory of economics based on the philosophy of Charles Sanders Peirce, one of the intellectual fathers of American pragmatism. The core idea is that the accumulation of information and increasing energy throughputs are the driving forces of economic evolution, being two modalities of what is fundamentally a physical process. The book puts together results from different subdisciplines in economics (such as ecological economics, neuroeconomics or the economics of institutions) and the natural sciences, in particular biology and physics, and transdisciplinary sciences, such as cognitive sciences. It assembles an encompassing and systematic conceptual framework for understanding the different constituents of the economy: Individuals, networks, institutions, technology and markets.

Chinese Summary/中文概要： 这本书基于查尔斯桑德斯皮尔斯的哲学，做出了一个全新的和独立的经济学理论。查尔斯桑德斯皮尔斯是美国实用主义的知识父亲之一。其核心思想是，信息的积累和能源吞吐量的增加是经济发展的驱动力，这本质上是物理过程的两种模式。该书汇集了经济学(如生态经济学、神经经济学或机构经济学)和自然科学(特别是生物学和物理学)以及认知科学等跨学科学科的研究成果。它为理解经济的不同组成部分:个人、网络、机构、技术和市场，汇总(YYW)

Awards/获奖情况：这本书是一个雄心勃勃的知识企业，以建立一个自然主义基础的经济学，内含惊人的广泛的知识，物理，生物，社会科学和哲学。读者会发现，在制度研究、(社会)神经科学、网络理论、生态经济学、生物文化二元论进化等领域中涌现出来的方法和见解，地被置于一个大的统一框架中，令人信服。以一个很好的哈耶克传统的方式来写作。我特别向年轻读者推荐这本书，因为在这个知识和思想交流日益广泛的时代，他们渴望超越狭隘的学科的知识。——青木正彦，美国斯坦福大学

This book is an ambitious intellectual enterprise to build a naturalistic foundation for economics, with amazingly vast knowledge of physical, biological, social sciences and philosophy. Readers will discover that approaches and insights emergent in institutional studies, (social)-neuroscience, network theory, ecological economics, bio-culture dualistic evolution, etc. are persuasively placed in a grand unified frame. It is written in a good Hayekian tradition. I recommend this book particularly to young readers who aspire to go beyond a narrowly specified discipline in the age of expanding communicability of knowledge and ideas. --Masahiko Aoki, Stanford University, US
