AFEE
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 to for awareness of the impact of new technology on the biosphere. The
ways in
which economic thought is affected by and affects always changing economics.
