Schumpeter: Capitalism as Self Organized Criticality
Economy as mutational process of emergent, self constructed, generative „creative destruction“
„Die Eröffnung neuer, fremder oder einheimischer Märkte und die organisatorische Entwicklung vom Handwerksbetrieb und der Fabrik zu solchen Konzernen wie dem U.S.-Steel illustrieren den gleichen Prozess einer industriellen Mutation – wenn ich diesen biologischen Ausdruck verwenden darf –, der unaufhörlich die Wirtschaftsstruktur von innen heraus revolutioniert² , unaufhörlich die alte Struktur zerstört und unaufhörlich eine neue schafft. Dieser Prozess der „schöpferischen Zerstörung“ ist das für den Kapitalismus wesentliche Faktum. Darin besteht der Kapitalismus und darin muss auch jedes kapitalistische Gebilde leben.“ J.A.Schumepter, 7.Kap Kapitalismus, Sozialismus und Demokratie, 1942 (1950)
Three Questions
1. Capacity Building: How to increase the capacity of individuals, organizations, universities, cities, regions etc. to go through adaptive cycles of re-invention and innovation?
2. Network Building: What types of networks are required?
3. Governance: What framework, incentives and cultural ecology are required?
Informed (determined) capacity (efficiency)
Uninformed, uncommitted capacity (flexibility)

Capacity
Capacity Building
Capacity building effect of participating in cooperative, mutual beneficial cycles (Ulanowicz)
Capacity building of individual node effect of network structure (autocatalytic cycles), level of ascendency.
Networks are no thing, no status, they are a process within a flow field.
