This paper locates the notion of technological revolutions in the Neo-Schumpeterian effort to  understand innovation and to identify the regularities, continuities and discontinuities in the process of  innovation. It looks at the micro- and meso-foundations of the patterns observed in the evolution of  technical change and the interrelations with the context that shape the rhythm and direction of innovation.  On this basis, it defines technological revolutions, examines their structure and the role that they play in  rejuvenating the whole economy through the application of the accompanying techno-economic paradigm.  This over-arching meta-paradigm or shared best practice 'common sense' is in turn defined and analysed  in its components and its impact, including the influence it exercises on institutional and social change.
