Some recent reading makes for an interesting collection of complementing work. A lot of the mechanisms of societies evolving found in https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🔽" title="Nach unten zeigendes Dreieck" aria-label="Emoji: Nach unten zeigendes Dreieck">, can also be found in the work of Bas van Bavel looking at emerging/declining (factor) market economies /1 https://twitter.com/ErikwimDuring/status/1316824325744451585">https://twitter.com/ErikwimDu...

Then there is this wonderful review of Levy& #39;s Ages of American Capitalism (h/t @michaelxpettis) which adds the US case to Bas van Bavel& #39;s cases of Irak, Italy and The Low Countries /3 http://bostonreview.net/class-inequality-politics/justin-h-vassallo-portrait-united-states-developing-country#.YJNz0KsVY6p.twitter">https://bostonreview.net/class-ine...

To which @MaxJerneck adds this interesting thread on economic sociology of East Asian growth. /4 https://twitter.com/MaxJerneck/status/1390323908243599362?s=20">https://twitter.com/MaxJernec...

All of these publications point to the more classic view of political-economics which however could be combined with modern ideas of non-linear concepts of #emergence, #instability and path-dependency to form " #neo-political-economics"?
