Evolutionary Economics (AFEE) are pleased to announce their wishfor a

*Topic*
Educated in the German tradition of economics by his mentor Richard T.
Ely, Commons brought a historical perspective to bear on
our understanding of the American economy. In so doing, he contributed
very significantly to the development of American institutionalism, a
leading approach in the field of economics before WWII. The combination
of economic and legal issues was a hallmark of Commons' writings,
culminating in his masterpiece /Legal Foundations of Capitalism/ (1924),
whose centenary we commemorate this year. Commons introduced the
economics profession to influential ideas about transactions,
contracting, and the importance of rules and the law. He also
highlighted the notion of 'reasonable value' and the impact exerted by
the courts on economic life. /Legal Foundations of Capitalism/
attributed a significant role to the legal system in the
well-functioning of markets and the economy, especially during periods
of fundamental change.
