My writing on such topics tend to be <a href="http://robertvienneau.blogspot.com/2008/11/sdm-path-dependence-and-instability.html" rel="nofollow">theoretical</a>, <a href="http://robertvienneau.blogspot.com/2010/05/nonergodic-stationary-random-process.html" rel="nofollow">abstract</a> mathematical models. And when I read, Geoffrey Hodgson, for example, I find qualitative, abstract discussion.<br /><br />Is there work that discusses the history of, say, specific industries where theory is more than a guide to a qualitative history? Maybe the point of Sraffian paradoxes is that is the best that can be done.<br /><br />I like Donald MacKenzie's <i><a href="https://www.amazon.com/Mechanizing-Proof-Computing-Inside-Technology/dp/0262632950" rel="nofollow">Mechanizing Proof: Computing, Risk, and Trust</a></i>. This is a history of formal methods, say, in software engineering that recognizes historical contingency.Robert Vienneauhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00872510108133281526noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26706564.post-35128874136689811172017-05-21T03:11:17.849-04:002017-05-21T03:11:17.849-04:00You should read what have been done since more tha...You should read what have been done since more than thirty years now in evolutionary economics and economics of innovation... I wonder if all typical sraffian phenomena (reswitching etc.) have any interests considering the continuous flow of innovations and the role of path dependency. I have no response, just intuition.Matthieu Montalbannoreply@blogger.com
