Book Details

First Sentence

"The bibliography, by necessity, has two protagonists: Joseph Alois Shumpeter (1883--1950) and the phenomenon of capitalist innovation. (Preface, page ix) Schumpeter first used the phrase creative destruction in 1942, to describe how innovative capitalists products and methods continually displace old ones. (Prologue, page 3)"
