Theories of capitalism’s demise

Theories of capitalism’s demise
1. Monopolies form, eliminating competition.
![Page 22: Joseph Schumpeter (1883 – 1950)](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022061612/56816737550346895ddbe9e7/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Theories of capitalism’s demise
1. Monopolies form, eliminating competition.2. Vanishing investment opportunity. Great
industrial breakthroughs are over.

Theories of capitalism’s demise
1. Monopolies form, eliminating competition.2. Vanishing investment opportunity. Great
industrial breakthroughs are over.3. Capitalism needs to conquer new markets
and materials. It may run out of both.

All three are wrong. They underestimate the revolutionary innovations of capitalism.

Schumpeter’s thought experiment
Circular flow economy. Perfect competition forces employers to pay workers the full value of their labor, eliminating profits. Same products are produced in same manner. Capitalism reaches equilibrium and collapses.

“The opening up of new markets, foreign or domestic, and the organizational development from the craft shop and factory to such concerns as U.S. Steel illustrate the same process of industrial mutation—if I may use that biological term—that incessantly revolutionizes the economic structure from within, incessantly destroying the old one, incessantly creating a new one. This process of Creative Destruction is the essential fact about capitalism.”

Karl Marx, Friedrich EngelsThe bourgeoisie has through its exploitation of the world market given
a cosmopolitan character to production and consumption in every country. To the great chagrin of Reactionists, it has drawn from under the feet of industry the national ground on which it stood. All old-established national industries have been destroyed or are daily being destroyed. They are dislodged by new industries, whose introduction becomes a life and death question for all civilised nations, by industries that no longer work up indigenous raw material, but raw material drawn from the remotest zones; industries whose products are consumed, not only at home, but in every quarter of the globe. In place of the old wants, satisfied by the production of the country, we find new wants, requiring for their satisfaction the products of distant lands and climes. In place of the old local and national seclusion and self-sufficiency, we have intercourse in every direction, universal inter-dependence of nations.

“The function of entrepreneurs is to reform or revolutionize the pattern of production by exploiting an invention or, more generally, an untried technological possibility for producing a new commodity or producing an old one in a new way, by opening up a new source of supply of materials or a new outlet for products, by reorganizing an industry and so on.”

“To act with confidence beyond the range of familiar beacons and to overcome that resistance requires aptitudes that are present in only a small fraction of the population and that define the entrepreneurial type” (132)

“His [the entrepreneur’s] role, though less glamorous than that of medieval warlords, great or small, also is or was just another form of individual leadership acting by virtue of personal force and personal responsibility for success.”
