12 What Schumpeter had deduced from this was the central role of innovation to competitive rivalry with his repeated, perhaps excessive, emphasis on the new firm and the new entrepreneur as the vehicles of innovation. Wittingly or otherwise he had stumbled upon the principle elements in any evolutionary argument, that is to say, a process of co-ordinated change driven by variety of behaviour. Let us take stock and summarize the specific charges brought against the equilibrium view of competition.
At first glance, the unit of selection is a method of production for some set of goods or services and as such it denotes a particular pattern of behaviour. It may entail transformations in the state of matter and energy, transformations in the spatial location of matter and energy, and transformations in the temporal location of matter and energy, or production, transport and storage in short. While appropriate, this emphasis on the transformation process alone is not enough. Under the capitalist rules of the game, transformation processes are activated for a purpose, to make the value of the output exceed the value of the input.
One consequence of this approach is a shift in emphasis away from the adaptability of the individual entities making up the population. Selection is quite consistent with change in the entities but what it does require is an element of inertia which holds the competing varieties in a form for long enough for selection to change their relative importance. If entities were perfectly adaptable in all relevant dimensions, 25 COMPETITION AND THE EVOLUTIONARY CONNECTION and so adapted their behaviours uniformly to the dictates of the environment, there would be no scope for selection.
