Schumpeter in the History of Ideas

Yuichi Shionoya and Mark Perlman, Editors

This volume, together with the companion volume Innovation in Technology, Industries, and Institutions: Studies in Schumpeterian Perspectives, is a selection of papers presented at the fourth biennial meeting of the International Schumpeter Society, held in Kyoto in August 1992. The Society, founded in 1986, is a group of economists who share the aim to promote the scientific study of the problems of economic development and innovation along the lines suggested by Joseph Alois Schumpeter.

The conference marked the fiftieth anniversary of the publication of Schumpeter's Capitalism, Socialism, and Democracy. Schumpeter's thought about the fate of capitalism is very relevant to the current world situation with the growth of capitalism in the United States, Europe, and Japan on the one hand, and the breakdown of communism in Central and Eastern Europe on the other. It is a good moment to reflect, as this volume does, on Schumpeter's ideas and their place in the history of economic thought.
