Abstract
An evolutionary view of socio‐economic systems is elaborated. The concept of path‐dependent processes and the role of evolutionary theory in social science is reviewed. A particular evolutionary perspective, that of ‘general evolutionary theory,’ is outlined. Autocatalytic processes and hierarchies, as well as biological on ‘general evolutionary theory,’ is presented. The paper concludes with a research proposal for further studies of socio‐economic organization.
