Novelty. The stages of formation and development of D. North’s ideas about the sources and factors of institutional changes in society are pointed out. The potential of interdisciplinary analysis in the process of studying the sources and factors of socio-economic development of society is demonstrated. Practical value. Consideration of D. North’s scientific heritage in terms of evolution of his views regarding institutional changes of economy and society as a whole allows us to more widely appreciate his contribution into economics, as well as expand our understanding about the determinants of socio-economic development. |
