The Association for
Evolutionary Economics (AFEE) is
an international organization of economists and other social
scientists devoted
to analysis of economics as evolving, socially constructed, and
politically
governed systems. The intellectual heritage of AFEE is that of
the Original
Institutional Economics (OIE) created and developed by early
twentieth-century
economists such as Thorstein Veblen, John R. Commons, and Wesley
Mitchell. Over
recent decades, this legacy has evolved to address such
contemporary issues as:
<
The role of
diverse cultures in economic performance.
<
Domestic and
international inequalities of income.
<
The roles of
social, economic and political power in shaping economic
outcomes.
<
Globalization
and the increasing weight of
multinational corporations in the international economy.
<
The need for
expanding use of modern technologies to relieve want.
<
The urgent need for
awareness of the impact of new technology on the biosphere. The
ways in which
economic thought is affected by and affects always changing
economy.
