Many of the central results of Classical and Marxian political ecomy are examples of the self-organization of the capitalist ecomy as a complex, adaptive system far from equilibrium. An Unholy Trinity explores the relations between contemporary complex systems theory and classical political ecomy, and applies the methods it develops to the problems of induced technical change and income distribution in capitalist ecomies, the control of environmental externalities such as global warming and the stabilization of the world population. The arguments and methods of this important book address central problems both of ecomic science and ecomic policy and provide fresh paths for theoretical exploration.
