Herbert Spencer (1820-1903)

Biolog si sociolog britanic contemporan, apara si-l face popular pe Charles Darwin.  A fost primul care a aplicat teoriile darwiniste ale evolutiei campului social. A influentat direct primii economisti evolutionisti cum sunt Thorstein Veblen sau William Graham Sumner. Revenirea actuala a analizelor bio-evolutioniste in economie a atras din nou atentia si respectul economistilor actuali catre figura sa.
