Standard economic theory uses mathematics as its main means of understanding, and this brings clarity reasoning logical power. But there is a drawback: algebraic restricts modeling to what can be expressed only in quantitative nouns, forces leave out matters do with process, formation, adjustment, creation—matters nonequilibrium. For these we need different one that allows verbs well nouns. Alg...
