It suggests that the wage share in the long run is completely independent of the forces of capitalist thrift leading to accumulation and of labor force growth, being determined entirely by factors relating to the bias of technical change. In this sense it provides a sharp alternative to the neoclassical vision of distribution reflecting the social scarcities of inputs to production. While this theory has great explanatory power, it also raises important unresolved questions about the foundations of the theory of induced technical change.

Julius or Fabio Petri, who brought the following issues to my attention in comments on an earlier version of this book, may see a gap between the methodological claims of this chapter and the examples presented in the rest of the book. It would be more methodologically consistent if the examples explicitly employed a simulation methodology showing that disaggregated agent-based models can exhibit the self-organizing tendencies of the capitalist economy addressed. In fact, the analyses in these chapters are based on differential equations linking aggregate, or macroscopic, variables, and study the equilibria of these systems of equations and their stability.

The methods of Classical political economy offer some hope of surmounting this apparent dilemma. We may be able to design systems that influence the self-organization of society as a complex, adaptive system in particular dimensions, even though we must give up any hope of stabilizing the actual evolution of the system in the hope of attaining once and for all such goals as justice and equality. I would argue, in fact, that there is much to be gained from this shift in understanding. We avoid the Scylla of utopian fantasies of an end to the dialectical historical development of human societies, which, in the complex systems view, will continue indefinitely.
