As Europe moves toward an integrated academic system and European economics is changing, this book discusses that change, along with the changes that are happening simultaneously within the discipline of economics.While the authors agree that European economics needs to go through major changes in the coming decade, they argue that by building on Europe's strengths, rather than trying to follow a US example, Europe will be more likely to become the global leader in economics in the coming decades rather than a second-rate copy of the US. In this context, the authors argue that modern economics can no longer usefully be described as 'neoclassical', but is much better described as complexity economics. The complexity approach embraces rather than assumes away the complexities of social interaction
