'Hanappi and Elsner have brought together in this volume a group of essays that reveal both the diversity and continuity of the European contribution to evolutionary institutional economics. The essays are rich in methodological significance and analytical detail. The range of topics covered is truly impressive, reflecting the multifaceted nature of this literature. It should serve as an important reference on evolutionary institutional economics for many years to come.'
