Schumpeter's Treatment of Samuelson

Warren Samuels

Journal of the History of Economic Thought, 1988, vol. 10, issue 1, 25-32

Abstract: By the time Joseph A. Schumpeter was well into the writing of his History of Economic Analysis. that is, in the late 1940's, shortly before his death, Paul A. Samuelson was already well known in the higher circles of the profession for his precocity and brilliance.2 But, if later his impact on the discipline was to be ceremonialized, and quite accurately as such appelations go, as the Age of Samuelson, was this dimly if at all anticipated by Schumpeter when he wrote the History? How did Schumpeter treat Samuelson therein and was it different from his treatment of other contemporary economists, such as Milton Friedman, John R. Hicks, Oscar Lange, Abba Lerner, Franco Modigliani, and George Stigler, all of whom, for example, figure in the History?
