English abstract:
The talk explores the concept of power and uses it to provide a new foundation for a conceptual framework of evolutionary political economy. This framework makes excessive use of the perspective of agent based simulation to keep all new notions clear, concise, and consistent. The artificial political economy is considered as a tribal society. The tribesī chieftains are involved in a game of power and exploit their farmers dependent on their chosen strategies. The model combines elements of a stock-flow consistent architecture of capital reproduction cycles, of agent-based bottom-up mechanisms and of evolutionary group-selection on a network topology.
Keywords:
