  The paper argues that attracting more economists and adopting a more-precise
definition of dynamic complexity might help econophysics acquire more attention
in the economics community and bring new lymph to economic research. It may be
necessary to concentrate less on the applications than on the basics of
economic complexity, beginning with expansion and deepening of the study of
small systems with few interacting components, while until thus far complexity
has been assumed to be a prerogative of complicated systems only. It is
possible that without a thorough analysis at that level, the understanding of
systems that are at the same time complex and complicated will continue to
elude economics and econophysics research altogether. To that purpose, the
paper initiates and frames a definition of dynamic complexity grounded on the
concept of non-linear dynamical system.
