Schumpeter's illuminating errors: when he was good, he was very good; when he was wrong he was suggestive

Abstract

Joseph Schumpeter is unquestionably the unique and leading voice in analysis of innovative entrepreneurship and its guiding role in economic growth. Yet, as is true of any author who undertakes such a pathbreaking task, some of his assertions have not been supported by subsequent analysis or later developments in the real world. However, such errors can be both creative and instructive. That is exactly why this paper focuses on these rare glitches in the Schumpeterian structure: each of them offers us insights that advance our understanding of this subject, which is so critical for the future welfare of society.
