Acknowledgments


The Association for Evolutionary Economics is delighted to sponsor this latest edition of The Theory of Economic Progress. C. E. Ayres was a founder of the Association as well as its first president. He was devoted to making it a success and to the ideas that it sought to advance. So it is fitting that his most influential book be reissued through the auspicious of AFEE. The members of AFEE express their warm appreciation to Kenneth Ayres for generously granting it the copyright.
