This article explores the origins and follows the development of the evolutionary approach in economics. The article lay dormant for many years before a major revamp in 2023-2025 and a reassessment in 2025. It would be great if one could give advise on whether to go straight to FAC or try GA/A-class first and introduce further improvements to the article.

- Imo, the article still requires significant work both along the following points:
- - Contributions of K. Boulding, Schumpeter and Hodgson as part of the emergence of the modern field
- - The connection to "evolutionary" concepts in "Roots of evolutionary economics" needs to be much clearer and concrete, as of now this could be in any article on economics or growth.
- - A paragraph on the limits of evolutionary concepts as borrowed from biology could be added to criticism.
- - The section "Recent developments in evolutionary economics" needs to be restructured with own subheadings for each topic. Also the massive quote from Galor should be replaced with actual description of his thoughts. Finally, there is no coverage of current work on firm dynamics and competition in this section, arguably the core of what Nelson and Winter started.
- - Some distinction and description of overlap with institutional economics and ecological economics (at least) is needed. Pragmatic Puffin (talk) 16:35, 14 March 2025 (UTC)
