Publisher's Synopsis
This book develops the implications for economic behaviour (and therefore policy) of the nature of mankind, our cognitive processes and our social nature. In particular, it explores the role and nature of technological change, the associated learning processes for individuals, organizations, social institutions and the state. The author applies the analysis to two contrasting policy areas - regional industrial policies and training policy. The book will appeal to a wide readership in the social sciences including economists, sociologists and psychologists.
