Many of the businessmen I know are well-versed in economics, but none uses the science in their daily work. No other science is so thoroughly ignored by its practitioners. The reason is that economics went astray by borrowing ideas from physics.1 This mischaracterizes commerce as a “closed equilibrium system.”2 Commerce is instead a complex, adaptive, and open system in constant disequilibrium.3 Economics should instead borrow ideas from evolutionary biology.

Despite the passage of over five decades since its production, the HEMI Cuda remains a desirable choice for many classic car enthusiasts. While some examples have been restored or are in various stages of restoration,…
