Opis

2017 marks the 75^th anniversary of Schumpeter's Capitalism, Socialism and Democracy, a work acknowledged as one of the most insightful books written in the 20^th century. It retains a contemporary quality, and still invites new interpretations, extensions and criticisms. In addition to re-examining the book and undertaking a 21^st century update of its main themes, this book brings together leading social scientists to provide contemporary extensions - or eventually refutations - of key elements of Schumpeter's vision and thesis. Issues covered include competition and innovation, the role of the state, socialism and democracy. Bringing together leading international contributors, the book provides fresh perspectives on ideas that continue to be hugely relevant to modern economics.
