Reviews

Structure, Evidence, and Heuristic is a balanced treatment of the promise and challenges in connecting economics and evolutionary biology ... Its author represents the best kind of philosophy of science. Highly informed about the science, but by taking a step back and applying a meta-perspective unavailable to those of us who spend our time in the trenches of a specific field, Schulz is able to make intellectual connections that are both exciting and valuable. The Quarterly Review of Biology Schulz addresses the value of the emerging interdisciplinary field of evolutionary economics by considering its contributions in three main areas-the structural, evidentiary, and heuristic. The result is a clear-eyed and thoughtful assessment of the merits of evolutionary economics that highlights both the contexts in which it is useful and those in which it is not. This book will be valuable for shaping the direction of the field, and to anyone who is interested in a strong framework for assessing a newly emerging interdisciplinary field. Sarah F. Brosnan, Georgia State University, USA
