Einstein's Theory Ethics
In our restatement of Einstein's theory we say, "the most incomprehensible thing about reality is that it is knowable." From what I have gathered from Heraclites this statement holds water. Heraclites states "It is in changing that things find response". Through this statement we can conclude that the only thing we can know is that the world is constantly changing. If the world is constantly changing, that would cause one to think that it could

Endogenous Growth Theory
Recall that in the Harrod-Domar, Kaldor-Robinson, Solow-Swan and the Cass-Koopmans growth models, we have maintained, either explicitly or implicitly, that technical change is "exogenous". In the Schumpeter version, this was not true: we had "swarms" of inventors arising under particular conditions. The Smithian and Ricardian models also had technical change arising from profit-squeezes or, in the particular case of Smith, arising because of previous technical conditions. Allyn A.
