| summary | To understand and analyze complex entitites that not only function, but moreover form, reform, develop and evolve – such as organisms and societies - this paper proposes a conceptual framework that combines principles of Darwinian evolution with principles of development by instructed self-organizing. In socioeconomic evolution, the framework identifies the units of selection to be institutions as rules-constraints ("rules-of-the-game"), splits this evolution into self-organizing instructed by actual institutions and changes of institutions, and interprets it as continuing biological evolution while reutilizing certain Darwinian principles. This helps to settle two theoretical controversies and clarify several problems concerning economic development and reform policies. |
