Synopsis "Capitalism, Socialism, and Democracy: Third Edition (Harper Perennial Modern Thought)"

"Joseph Schumpeter's classic Capitalism, Socialism and Democracy explains the process of capitalism's 'creative destruction' -- a key principle in understanding the logic of globalization." -- Thomas L. Friedman, Foreign PolicyIn this definitive third and final edition (1950) of his prophetic masterwork, Joseph A. Schumpeter introduced the world to the concept of "creative destruction," which forever altered how global economics is approached and perceived. Now featuring a new introduction by Pulitzer Prize-winning Schumpeter biographer Thomas K. McCraw, Capitalism, Socialism and Democracy is essential read-ing for anyone who seeks to understand where the world economy is headed."If Keynes was the most important economist of the 20th century, then Schumpeter may well be the most important of the 21st. . . . . his economic understanding was brilliant . . . he tried to set long-term economic growth--entrepreneurship and enterprise--at the top of the discipline's agenda. . . . Capitalism, Socialism, and Democracy is superb." -- J. Bradford DeLong, Chronicle of Higher Education

" Es una obra magnífica que seguirá teniendo cinco estrellas aunque no se las demos. Lo compré en inglés porque en español el precio está por las nubes. Pese -debo decirlo- a que lo vale. Este libro es un "clásico" del siglo XX y está brillantemente bien formulado. En ocasiones el pensamiento de algunos filósofos, o historiadores, o economistas, es sólido como un ladrillo. Más allá de que hayan acertado en esto o lo otro (al final todos yerran) su lectura es un deleite. Un libro para todas las estaciones. Five stars! "
