Connections between ontogenesis and "economic" development are, I think,
going to be fairly abstract metaphors at best. The connections will be
based on the fact that the same person thinks of both objects, that's all.
Ontogenesis is the process of acquiring the knowledge of one's times, it's
like the difference between mountain climbing and house-building. Actually,
Hegel is very good on this in the Preface to the Phenomenology:
