The interdependence between economic analysis and methodology in the work of Joseph A. Schumpeter

Abstract: This paper offers an overview of Schumpeter's entire economic work from a methodological perspective. Only from this 'birds-eye' view do all the well-known parts of his work become part of a mosaic which - from a distance - forms a picture of logical succession: It tells the story of an intensive search for an appropriate analytical understanding of the phenomenon of economic change. As a result, this paper argues that, from a methodological perspective, Schumpeter's work appears to be anything but a monolithic unit.
