Abstract: The paper compares R.A. Musgrave and J.A. Schumpeter and their relationship. First, their biographical and intellectual backgrounds are analyzed. Then the approach of shared intellectual frameworks according to M. Perlman’s dichotomies are applied to Musgrave’s and Schumpeter’s contributions.Musgrave was an admirer of Schumpeter but the analysis of their approaches applying the dichotomous approach and the inclusion ofMusgraves article on Schumpeter and the tax state also highlight their intellectual differences despite the fact that both had deep roots in the European tradition and a broad understanding of the social sciences, social economics and the embeddedness of the economy in the institutional-judicial nexus on the one and more individualist traditions on the other hand.
