The Missing Chapter in Schumpeter’s

The Theory of Economic Development

  • Chapter

Part of the book series: The European Heritage in Economics and the Social Sciences ((EHES,volume 1))

Abstract

Many economists share the view that chapter seven of Schumpeter’s The Theory of economic development is very important to understand Schumpeter’s program and that it should be discussed more extensively. Unfortunately, it has not become the object of scholarly investigation. In this short contribution we will start to close this gap by recapitulating and discussing Schumpeter’s chapter seven of The Theory of economic development.
