The Phenomenon of Economic Change: Neoclassical vs. Schumpeterian Approaches

  • Chapter
Evolutionary and Neo-Schumpeterian Approaches to Economics

Part of the book series: Recent Economic Thought ((RETH,volume 36))

Abstract

This study addresses an issue that few economists have pioneered like Schumpeter: economic change. The prominence he achieved in this field reflects, however, not only his intellectual stature, but also an apparent reluctance of economists to deal with this issue. This analysis starts with a brief reflection on the neoclassical notion of change. It is increasingly recognized that neoclassical economics takes as exogenous exactly those variables that would represent the very core of a theory of economic change. The theoretical deficiency is viewed to consist not only in the static nature of the equilibrium concept, but also in the choice-theoretic scheme of relative allocation that ignores the issue of “energy for change.rd The analysis proceeds with an account of Austrian endeavors to overcome the neo-classical limitations by introducing a cognitively alert agent who searches actively for economic opportunities. This approach allows one to endogenize essential aspects of change relating to adjustment and equilibrium converging processes. It is argued in a next step that a global theory of economic change must put forth propositions that refer to the evolutionary dynamics—highlighting change from one local economic regime to another.
