Capitalism, Socialism And Democracy (1947)

Capitalism, Socialism And Democracy is a book written by Joseph A. Schumpeter in 1947. The book is a comprehensive analysis of the economic systems of capitalism and socialism and their relationship with democracy. Schumpeter argues that capitalism is a dynamic system that constantly generates innovation and progress, but also creates inequalities and social tensions. He also examines the historical development of socialism and its different forms, including Marxist socialism and democratic socialism. Schumpeter contends that socialism is fundamentally flawed because it does not take into account the role of entrepreneurship and innovation in economic development. He also explores the relationship between capitalism, democracy, and political power, arguing that democracy is threatened by the power of economic elites. The book remains a seminal work in the field of economics and political science, and continues to be widely read and debated today.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
