Economy and evolution : a road map -- The evolving economy -- Human and nonhuman economies compared -- The economics of everyday : consumption and the role of enemies in nature -- The economics of everyday : production and the role of resources -- The ingredients of power and opportunity : technology and organization -- The ingredients of power and opportunity : the environment -- The geography of power and innovation -- Breaking down and building up : the role of disturbance -- Patterns in history : toward greater reach and power -- The future of growth and power -- The geological time scale.

From humans to hermit crabs to deep water plankton, all living things compete for locally limiting resources. This universal truth unites three bodies of thought--economics, evolution, and history--that have developed largely in mutual isolation. Here, Geerat Vermeij undertakes a groundbreaking and provocative exploration of the facts and theories of biology, economics, and geology to show how processes common to all economic systems--competition, cooperation, adaptation, and feedback--govern evolution as surely as they do the human economy, and how historical patterns in both human and nonhum.
