This book contains the most sustained and serious attack on mainstream, neoclassical economics in more than forty years. Nelson and Winter focus their critique on the basic question of how firms and industries change overtime. They marshal significant objections to the fundamental neoclassical assumptions of profit maximization and market equilibrium, which they find ineffective in the analysis of technological innovation and the dynamics of competition among firms. To replace these assumptions, they borrow from biology the concept of natural selection to construct a precise and detailed evolutionary theory of business behavior. They grant that films are motivated by profit and engage in search for ways of improving profits, but they do not consider them to be profit maximizing. Likewise, they emphasize the tendency for the more profitable firms to drive the less profitable ones out of business, but they do not focus their analysis on hypothetical states of industry equilibrium. The results of their new paradigm and analytical framework are impressive. Not only have they been able to develop more coherent and powerful models of competitive firm dynamics under conditions of growth and technological change, but their approach is compatible with findings in psychology and other social sciences. Finally, their work has important implications for welfare economics and for government policy toward industry.

评分有時候,一個成功的企業的領導者並不是把每一步選擇都是建立在利益最大化的考量上的,換言之,一個錶現得很理性(利益最大化)的企業可能是因為其理性,而是因為其隻有那樣子做纔能存在。類似的,之所以假設人都是理性的,並且發現人確實如此,那不是因為你的假設是對的,而是因為不理性的人(或者采取很多不理性行為的人)都被淘汰瞭。物競天擇,適者生存。
