Features: Joseph Alois Schumpeter (1883-1950) was one of the most esteemed economists of the 20th century, and his outstanding position in the history of economics is on par with the masters such as Adam Smith, Marshall, and Keynes. Schumpeter's theories are a significant legacy in economics; he first proposed the theory of "innovation," not only as a pioneer of the knowledge economy but also as a thinker whose ideas continue to dominate mainstream thought in the 21st century, silently shaping minds even today. In the past, there was limited knowledge of Schumpeter's life and experiences, but in recent years, discussions about his works have been increasing. This book is written by Schumpeter's disciple, as well as a prominent economist from Taiwan, Professor Jian-sheng Shi. He has thoroughly reviewed Schumpeter's works and related materials, presenting an in-depth yet accessible account of Schumpeter's life and thoughts, and providing detailed analyses of all his significant works. If you wish to understand Schumpeter as a person and the important economic theories he proposed, this book is your best choice.
