Synopsis

Schumpeter's Capitalism, Socialism, and Democracy is perhaps the most important and influential book on the subject ever writtenThis volume is the result of an effort to weld into a readable form the bulk of almost forty years' thought, observation and research on the subject of socialism. The problem of democracy forced its way into the place it now occupies in this volume because it proved impossible to state my views on the relation between the socialist order of society and the democratic method of government without a rather extensive analysis of the latter.Moreover, this material also reflected the analytic efforts of an individual who, while always honestly trying to probe below the surface, never made the problems of socialism the principal subject of his professional research for any length of time and therefore has much more to say on some topics than on others. In order to avoid creating the impression that I aimed at writing a well-balanced treatise I have thought it best to group my material around five central themes. Links and bridges between them have been provided of course and something like systematic unity of presentation has, I hope, been achieved. But in essence they are-though not independent-almost self-contained pieces of analysis.

A propos du livre

À propos de l'auteur

Joseph Alois Schumpeter (1883-1950) was an Austrian-born economist, political thinker, and social theorist whose work became central to modern discussions of capitalism, entrepreneurship, innovation, business cycles, economic development, and democratic institutions. Educated in the Austrian intellectual tradition and active in both European and American academic life, Schumpeter taught at several institutions before joining Harvard University, where his influence on economics and social theory became especially significant.Schumpeter's major works include The Theory of Economic Development, Business Cycles, Capitalism, Socialism, and Democracy, and the posthumously published History of Economic Analysis. He is especially associated with the idea of "creative destruction," the process by which innovation continually disrupts existing industries, firms, and social arrangements. His work remains important to economists, historians, political theorists, business scholars, and readers interested in capitalism's capacity for transformation, instability, growth, and self-undermining change.
