Geoffrey Hodgson
Geoffrey M. Hodgson (born July 28, 1946 ) is a professor of economics (management) at Loughborough University London. Hodgson is a representative of modern evolutionary institutionalism . This trend refers to the institutional economic tradition, especially to Thorstein Veblen , and pursues an evolutionary theoretical approach. His areas of interest are mainly the evolutionary economics , economic history of ideas , Marxism , and theoretical biology . He became known through books such as Economics and Institutions: A Manifesto for a Modern Institutional Economics (1988) or Economics and Evolution: Bringing Life Back into Economics (1993). In a recent trilogy Economics and Utopia (1999), How Economics Forgot History (2001) and The Evolution of Institutional Economics (2004) he criticizes the common arguments of the economic mainstream. In his book "Conceptualizing Capitalism" (2015) he sketched - u. a. on the basis of a critique of neoclassical institutional economics and Marxism - the research program of a legal institutionalism .
