Schumpeter (1883-1950) made seminal contributions not only to economic theory but also to sociology and economic history. His work is now attracting wide attention among sociologists  as well as experiencing a remarkable revival among economists. This anthology  which serves as an excellent introduction to Schumpeter  emphasizes his broad socio-economic vision and his attempt to analyze economic reality from several different perspectives. An ambitious introductory essay by Richard Swedberg uses many new sources to enhance our understanding of Schumpeters life and work and to help analyze his fascinating character. This essay stresses Schumpeters ability to draw on several social sciences in his study of capitalism.  Some of the articles in the anthology are published for the first time. The most important of these are Schumpeters Lowell Lectures from 1941  \"An Economic Interpretation of Our Time.\" Also included is the transcript of his lecture \"Can Capitalism Survive?\" (1936) and the high-spirited debate that followed. The anthology contains many of Schumpeters classical sociological articles  such as his essays on the tax state  imperialism  and social classes. And  finally  there are lesser known articles on the future of private enterprise  on the concept of rationality in the social sciences  and on the work of Max Weber  with whom Schumpeter collaborated on several occasions.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44965423153205,"sku":"ByrdShop_0691003831","price":51.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9780691003832.jpg?v=1770496269","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/the-economics-and-sociology-of-capitalism","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
