Cambiamenti strutturali e innovazioni radicali

This paper outlines a systemic appraisal of radical innovations in terms of the structural theory of production. In particular, the paper examines the role of technical innovations in shifting the relative balance between non produced resources and intermediate products. This shift calls attention to the central role of the circular processes by which intermediates are produced by means of intermediates and of the corresponding viability conditions (proportionality conditions leading to systemic sustainability)
