Based on a peculiar concept of dynamic competition, explains innovation and uncertainty and describes the way equilibrating and disequilibrating processes are intertwined and operate. Carries out concise application to successive stages of economic development, along with some econometric application, that demonstrates the degree of generality and flexibility of the theory proposed and provides a comprehensive interpretative tool and pictures of different growth processes and the crucial factors on which they depend.
