Schumpeter and Marx: a comment on a debate

Heinz Kurz

Industrial and Corporate Change, 2013, vol. 22, issue 2, 577-584

Abstract: Although Schumpeter was deeply influenced by Marx and benefitted a great deal from the latter's achievements in unraveling the "law of motion" of capitalism, as Rosenberg has convincingly shown, he was not a Marxist, as Rosenberg contended. Contrary to the critics of Rosenberg, the real litmus test in this regard is whether Schumpeter saw profits, like Marx, as resulting from the "exploitation" of workers. He did not. In fact, he wished to refute Marx's claim, thereby pulling the rug out from under the feet of the socialist critics of capitalism. Copyright 2013 The Author 2012.
