Overview

"The ongoing process of revision and rethinking of the foundations of economic theory leads to great complexities and contradictions at the heart of economics. The ""economics r innovation"" provides a fertile challenge to standard economics and one that can help it overcome its many criticisms. This authoritative book from Cristiano Antonelli provides a systematic account of recent advances in the economics of innovation. By integrating this account with the economics of technological change, the book elaborates an understanding of the effects of the introduction of new technologies. Many within the innovation economics community will appreciate this excellent, comprehensive account, provided by a respected expert, but it is a book that also needs to be read by all those with an interest in economic theory."
