Knowledge, Physical Capital and Creative Destructio

Abstract

"creative destruction" refers to the way that economic advances make existeng economic capital ideas absolescent: thay are partially destroyed (in value term). Existing models have only considered how additions to economic knowledge make existing knowledge less valuable. This paper recognises that both knowledge and capital obsolesce and considers the effect on both.
