Capitalism and creative destruction

Joseph A. Schumpeter’s Can Capitalism Survive? frames capitalism’s future as a question about the economic system’s own capacity to endure. The description identifies creative destruction as a central idea and points to Schumpeter’s answer—“No”—without giving away the reasoning that follows. The book presents an analysis of capitalism through an economic and social lens, making its central concern not simply how the global economy works, but whether capitalism can continue to do so.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Readers interested in economic theories of capitalism and its future.
  • Those exploring creative destruction and the social dimensions of economics.
