An excellent summary of Eric Beinhocker's Origin of Wealth: Evolution, Complexity, and the Radical Remaking of Economics courtesy of the UK Cabinet Office.
I just finished reading Origin of Wealth, and I would highly recommend it to anyone interested in a nice summary of the complex adaptive systems approach to economics. Although the book is directed to a lay audience (i.e., not academic economists) the footnotes, endnotes, and references are excellent and direct the more technical reader to the appropriate papers for more detailed discussion and analysis.
