2.5 Historical (In) Evitability

Isaiah Berlin's critique of historical inevitability, analogous to
Popper's critique of historicism, is one of the classic attempts to challenge
Marxist theory. Fair enough, but we can see that one and the same critique is
relevant to all discussions of economic systems, and Darwinian theories of
evolution. The relationship of free choice and systems dynamics must be
considered carefully in all cases, and whatever its flaws, the bungled 'marxist'
theory nonetheless raised the issue of historical inevitability with capitalism
systems! The same is true of the spurious projection on the past and future of
Darwinian natural selection.
