Recenzje

’This book is most interesting. This is the most profound attempt I know to connect the Schumpeter concept of entrepreneurship and examine its relation to Marx’s writings on long-term cycles. It is an important book.’ E.K. Hunt, Professor and Chair, Department of Economics, University of Utah, USA ’Keklik weaves together a compelling argument based on a novel rereading of neo-Schumpeterian literature with Marxian questions in mind. A must read.’ Korkut A. Erturk, Associate Professor of Economics, University of Utah, USA ’This book contains highly original research and is a fine blend of theoretical and empirical analysis. It gives a unified account of Schumpeter’s earlier and later views on innovation, entrepreneurship, competition and industry life-cycle. These ideas are linked to the Marxian theory of the long-wave and are tested on the U.S. data. The book deserves serious attention from economists working on industrial organization, technical change and economic development.’ Professor Ajit Singh, Cambridge University, UK
