The aim of this book is to broaden our understanding of technological change by adopting the concept of technological retrogression. With reference to concrete cases of technological retrogression a new conceptual framework is developed. The book's exposition aims at contrasting retrogressive economic dynamics of technological change to progressive dynamics as developed by Schumpeter.
