English abstract:
In this paper we present the major theoretical and methodological pillars of evolutionary political
economy. We proceed in four steps.
Aesthetics: In chapter 1 the immediate appeal of evolutionary political economy as a specific scientific
activity is described.
Content: Chapter 2 explores the object of investigation of evolutionary political economy.
Power: The third chapter develops the interplay between politics and economics.
Methods: Chapter 4 focusses on the evolution of methods necessary for evolutionary political
economy.
The conclusion positions the field of evolutionary political economy - as we proposed to establish it in
this paper - within the wider area of scientific activity. In particular, demarcation lines towards some
fashionable economic schools (institutionalism, behavioural economics, post-Keynesianism, etc.) are
indicated.
