More quotes by Joseph A. Schumpeter
The evolution of the capitalist style of life could be easily - and perhaps most tellingly - described in terms of the genesis of the modern Lounge Suit.
Joseph A. Schumpeter
To realize the relative validity of one's convictions and yet stand for them unflinchingly is what distinguishes a civilized man from a barbarian.
Joseph A. Schumpeter
We always plan too much and always think too little.
Joseph A. Schumpeter
The perennial gale of creative destruction
Joseph A. Schumpeter
Bureaucracy is not an obstacle to democracy but an inevitable complement to it.
Joseph A. Schumpeter
Gentlemen, a depression is for capitalism like a good, cold douche.
Joseph A. Schumpeter
Politicians are like bad horsemen who are so preoccupied with staying in the saddle that they can't bother about where they're going.
Joseph A. Schumpeter
Capitalism stands its trial before judges who have the sentence of death in their pockets. They are going to pass it, whatever the defense they may hear the only success victorious defense can possibly produce is a change in the indictment.
Joseph A. Schumpeter
The ballot is stronger than bullets.
Joseph A. Schumpeter
Lack of outlets, excess capacity, complete deadlock, in the end regular recurrence of national bankruptcies and other disasters-perhaps world wars from sheer capitalist despair-may confidently be anticipated. History is as simple a that.
Joseph A. Schumpeter
Capitalism inevitably and by virtue of the very logic of its civilization creates, educates and subsidizes a vested interest in social unrest.
Joseph A. Schumpeter
For one thing, to predict the advent of big business was considering the conditions of Marx's day an achievement in itself.
Joseph A. Schumpeter
Can capitalism survive? No. I do not think it can.
Joseph A. Schumpeter
The first thing a man will do for his ideals is lie.
Joseph A. Schumpeter
The intellectual and social climate needed to allow entrepreneurship to thrive will not exist in advanced capitalism.
Joseph A. Schumpeter
There is another method of obtaining money... It does not presuppose the existence of accumulated results of previous development, and hence may be considered as the only one which is available in strict logic. This method of obtaining money is the creation of purchasing power by banks. The form it takes is immaterial.
Joseph A. Schumpeter
It is quite possible that future generations will look upon arguments about the inferiority of the socialist plan as we look upon Adam Smith's argument about joint stock companies which, also, were simply false.
Joseph A. Schumpeter
Economic progress, in capitalist society, means turmoil.
Joseph A. Schumpeter
Creative Destruction is the essential fact about capitalism.
Joseph A. Schumpeter
Why should we stunt our ambitions and impoverish our lives in order to be insulted and looked down upon in our old age?
Joseph A. Schumpeter
