[FRIAM] Wilson and Snower on Economics

[David Eric Smith]

Boy if I had a nickel for every instance of “new paradigm” in academic papers, I would be so rich I could stop working for a living and invent a new paradigm in something.

The economy is viewed as a system that is embedded within political, social and environmental systems. The evolution of economic activities is understood in terms of variation (innovation), selection (cooperative and competitive relations that survive) and replication (transmission and proliferation of ideas). The multilevel paradigm comes with its own definition and purpose of economics, as the discipline that explores how resources, goods and services can be mobilized in the pursuit of wellbeing in thriving societies, now and in the future. We describe the prominent characteristics of the multilevel paradigm: flexible, multiple levels of functional
