Summary "This book makes the case that economies are complex systems and develops a unique dynamic nonequilibrium process analysis of macroeconomics. The book provides a brief introduction to complex systems, chaos theory and unit roots and develops the importance and implications of contingency for economic behaviour. Moore also develops a new tool of 'Process Analysis' to replace equilibrium analysis for the analysis of macroeconomic phenomena in historical time."--BOOK JACKET
