Welcome to European Association for Evolutionary Political Economy (EAEPE)

EAEPE originates from a meeting at a conference in Grim’s Dyke, London, on 29 June 1988. The main purpose in forming the association was to promote evolutionary, dynamic and realistic approaches to economic theory and policy. Instead of the over-formalistic and often empty theorising of orthodox economics, the aim was to bring together the ideas of a number of theorists and theoretical traditions, and to help to develop a more realistic and adequate approach to theory and policy (see our Theoretical Perspectives).
