Geoffrey M. Hodgson
Evolution and Institutions: On Evolutionary

— y.
Publisher: —
Description: Geoff Hodgson`s innovative and important new book is about the future of economics as a viable discipline. It examines not only evolutionary economics but the development of economic theory during the twentieth century. The book reflects on the origins and consequences of the narrowing and increasing irrelevance of mainstream economics, suggesting that it will be inadequate to cope with the complex ideas of the new millennium. Geoff Hodgson analyses some of the attempts to redirect theoretical economics to real world issues. He proposes a move away from mathematical formalization, greater tolerance given to different approaches and the possibility of learning from other sciences especially biology. He suggests that the toleration of a plurality of theoretical approaches in economics - including institutional and evolutionary approaches - based on a common orientation towards real world economies is the best overall strategy for future theoretical advance. A unique and important… [detailed...]

Publisher: —
Description: Book DescriptionThe contributions in this volume reveal much about the institutional nature of central banks. They analyze the banks` growth and development as well as desired objectives and challenges in the future. The articles tackle the issues in a variety of ways, combining historical observation with economic theory and experimentation.Download DescriptionThis volume collects the proceedings from a conference on the evolution and practice of central banking sponsored by the Central Bank Institute of the Federal Reserve Bank of Cleveland. The articles and discussants` comments in this volume largely focus on two questions: the need for central banks, and how to maintain price stability once they are established. The questions addressed include whether large banks (or coalitions of small banks) can substitute for government regulation and due central bank liquidity provision, whether the future will have fewer central banks or more, the possibility of private means to deliver a… [detailed...]

Evolution and the Common Law

2005 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Book DescriptionThis book challenges existing accounts about the development and operation of the common law.Download DescriptionThis book offers a radical challenge to all existing accounts of the common law`s development. Contrary to received jurisprudential wisdom, it maintains there is no grand theory which will explain satisfactorily the dynamic interactions of change and stability in the common law`s history. Offering fresh and original readings of Charles Darwin`s and Hans-Georg Gadamer`s works, the book shows that law is a rhetorical activity that can only be properly appreciated in its historical and political context, tradition and transformation are locked in a mutually reinforcing but thoroughly contingent embrace. In contrast to the dewy-eyed offerings of much contemporary work, it demonstrates that, like life, law is an organic process (i.e., events are the products of functional and localized causes) rather than a miraculous one (i.e., events are the result of some… [detailed...]

Samir Okasha
Evolution and the Levels of Selection

2009 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Does natural selection act primarily on individual organisms, on groups, on genes, or on whole species? Samir Okasha provides a comprehensive analysis of the debate in evolutionary biology over the levels of selection, focusing on conceptual, philosophical and foundational questions. A systematic framework is developed for thinking about natural selection acting at multiple levels of the biological hierarchy, the framework is then used to help resolve outstanding issues. Considerable attention is paid to the concept of causality as it relates to the levels of selection, in particular the idea that natural selection at one hierarchical level can have effects that `filter` up or down to other levels. Unlike previous work in this area by philosophers of science, full account is taken of the recent biological literature on `major evolutionary transitions` and the recent resurgence of interest in multi-level selection theory among biologists. Other biological topics discussed include… [detailed...]

Evolution as Computation

— y.
Publisher: —
Description: The study of the genetic basis for evolution has flourished in this century, as well as our understanding of the evolvability and programmability of biological systems. Genetic algorithms meanwhile grew out of the realization that a computer program could use the biologically-inspired processes of mutation, recombination, and selection to solve hard optimization problems. Genetic and evolutionary programming provide further approaches to a wide variety of computational problems. A synthesis of these experiences reveals fundamental insights into both the computational nature of biological evolution and processes of importance to computer science. Topics include biological models of nucleic acid information processing and genome evolution, molecules, cells, and metabolic circuits that compute logical relationships, the origin and evolution of the genetic code, and the interface with genetic algorithms and genetic and evolutionary programming.

Evolution of Communicative Flexibility: Complexity, Creativity, and Adaptability in Human and Animal Communication (Vienna Series in Theoretical Biology)

2008 y.
Publisher: —
Description: The evolutionary roots of human communication are difficult to trace, but recent comparative research suggests that the first key step in that evolutionary history may have been the establishment of basic communicative flexibility—the ability to vocalize freely combined with the capability to coordinate vocalization with communicative intent. The contributors to this volume investigate how some species (particularly ancient hominids) broke free of the constraints of `fixed signals,` actions that were evolved to communicate but lack the flexibility of language—a newborn infant`s cry, for example, always signals distress and has a stereotypical form not modifiable by the crying baby. Fundamentally, the contributors ask what communicative flexibility is and what evolutionary conditions can produce it. The accounts offered in these chapters are notable for taking the question of language origins farther back in evolutionary time than in much previous work. Many contributors address the… [detailed...]

Evolution of Markets and Institutions A Study of an Emerging Economy (Routledge Studies in Development Economics)

2006 y.

Description: The new institutional economics took its roots in the transaction cost theory of the firm as an economic organization rather than purely a production function. This idea has been developed further by scholars such as Oliver Williamson, Douglas North and their followers, which has led to the rich and growing field of the new institutional economics. This branch of economics stresses the importance of institutions in the functioning of free markets, which include elaborately defined and effectively enforced property rights in the presence of transaction costs, large corporate organizations with agency and hierarchical controls, formal contracts, bankruptcy laws, and regulatory institutions. Murali Patibandla applies some of the precepts of the new institutional economics to India - one of the world`s most promising economies. [detailed...]

Evolution of a Missouri Asylum: Fulton State Hospital, 1851-2006

2007 y.
Publisher: University of Missouri Press
Description: Fulton State Hospital was not only Missouri`s first state mental asylum but also the first such institution west of the Mississippi. In tracing its founding and evolution over a century and a half, this book sheds light on both a neglected aspect of the state`s history and the development of mental health care in America. It acknowledges the noble aspirations of Fulton State Hospital - as well as its failures, throughout much of its existence, to transform those aspirations into realities. This institutional history of the hospital traces the debates surrounding its creation (as the State Lunatic Asylum) in a time when mental illness was barely understood. Although the Fulton hospital was initially conceived as a treatment facility, it quickly transformed into a primarily custodial institution. It existed as a self-sufficient establishment until the mid-twentieth century, dependent on patient labor and even producing its own food. But for the most socially disadvantaged and for the… [detailed...]

Description: The function of vertebrate hearing is served by a surprising variety of sensory structures in the different groups of fish, amphibians, reptiles, birds, and mammals. This book discusses the origin, specialization, and functional properties of sensory hair cells, beginning with environmental constraints on acoustic systems and addressing in detail the evolutionary history behind modern structure and function in the vertebrate ear. Taking a comparative approach, chapters are devoted to each of the vertebrate groups, outlining the transition to land existence and the further parallel and independent adaptations of amniotic groups living in air. The volume explores in depth the specific properties of hair cells that allowed them to become sensitive to sound and capable of analyzing sounds into their respective frequency components. Evolution of the Vertebrate Auditory System is directed to a broad audience of biologists and clinicians, from the level of advanced undergraduate students… [detailed...]
