The purpose of this paper is to show possibility of a study program of evolutionist institutional design as well as to explain in what sense it is different from constructivist planned economy or operationalist Keynesian policies. Firstly, we define operationalism and constructivism as the targets of our critique and overview the problems with them. In particular we focus on the relation between a real economic world and models of it and the relation between economic agents and institutions or rules. Secondly, we will explain our proposed standpoint of evolutionism. Lastly, I take local currency as an example in order to describe evolutionary design of institution more concretely. Evolutionist institutional design pays attention to variable emergent properties of platform-type institutions. It is a social experiment or a social movement with multiple value standards and the viewpoint of inner observation.
