The Origin of Wealth
By Eric BeinHocker
Harvard Business School Press
September 14, 2007

Summary

Don't let the cover quotes fool you, this is not a 'a brilliant piece of intellectual history'. It is, instead, a complete, comprehensive and reasoned re-framing of the entire economic domain. If one only reads the first half of the book, you will miss out on the most interesting aspects of Beinhocker's new ideas about 'Complexity Economics'.
