""Early in life I had three ambitions," Joseph A. Schumpeter is said to have remarked. "I wanted to be the greatest economist in the world, the greatest horseman in Austria, and the best lover in Vienna. Well, I never became the greatest horseman in Austria." This colorful and enigmatic man did, however, become one of the truly great economists of this century. But his life was not without setbacks. Having written three important books before the age of thirty, he served as the Austrian Minister of Finance for only seven months before being ousted during the difficult period immediately after World War I, and during the 1920s he also failed in business. He spent the last two decades of his life as a popular and influential teacher at Harvard University. This major intellectual biography of Schumpeter follows his career from his immensely creative and productive youth in Austria-Hungary to the strange depressions that plagued him during his later years--especially during World War II, when he shocked his American colleagues with his violent outbursts against Roosevelt and U.S. policy toward Nazi Germany and Japan. Richard Swedberg skillfully blends narrative with a thoughtful and knowledgeable evaluation of Schumpeter's major contributions to economics, history, sociology, and political science.". "In recent years Schumpeter's emphasis on the unique role of the entrepreneur in modern economies has heightened public awareness of his theories, and his arguments are in many ways even more persuasive today than they were during his lifetime. His works are classic treatments not only of entrepreneurship but also of social change, dynamics within an economy, and sociological reasoning. The key to understanding Schumpeter's thinking, the biography argues, is to realize that he intended to create a broad-based science of economics, or Sozialokonomik. This new economics was to consist of four parts: economic theory, economic sociology, economic history, and statistics. Schumpeter's major works--especially Theory of Economic Development (1911), Capitalism, Socialism and Democracy (1942), and History of Economic Analysis (posthumously published in 1954)--all testify to this sweeping vision of economics. Swedberg lucidly explains this vision in a way that will fascinate not only economists and sociologists but also business people and other informed general readers."--BOOK JACKET.

This book is a collection of papers on the origins of economic thought discovered in the writings of some prominent Islamic scholars, during the five centuries prior to the Latin Scholastics, who include St. Thomas Aquinas. This period of time was labelled by Joseph Schumpeter as representing the 'great gap' in economic history. Unfortunately, this 'gap' is well embedded in most relevant literature. However, during this period the Islamic civilization was one of the most fertile grounds for intellectual developments in various disciplines, including economics, and this book attempts to fill th

In this major scholarly study of the life of Joseph A. Schumpeter, one of the great intellectual figures of the twentieth century, the distinguished economist Wolfgang Stolper delves into the mind of his former teacher, exploring the development of his ideas and, especially, their influence on politics and public policy. After reflecting briefly on Schumpeter the man, Stolper explains the evolution of Schumpeter's work, particularly his insights during the 1920s on public finance, his contributions to monetary theory and the study of business cycles, and his writings on socialism. Stolper goes on to desribe and evaluate Schumpeter's public activities following World War I and his role as a finance minister, placing the development of his thought in the turbulence political context of his times.Drawing on a vast array of new and exciting sources, Stolper paints a portrait of his mentor as a decent, ambitious, and complex man whose many insights into economy and society found their way outside of the academy and into the practical world of economic policy. All readers interested in the history of economic thought and twentieth-century political and intellectual history will find this book invaluable.Wolfgang Stolper is Professor Emeritus of Economics at the University of Michigan. He is author of The Structure of the East German Economy and Planning Without Facts and has made seminal contributions to international economics.Originally published in 1994.The Princeton Legacy Library uses the latest print-on-demand technology to again make available previously out-of-print books from the distinguished backlist of Princeton University Press.
