Joseph A Schumpeter Quotes

The perennial gale of creative destruction Picture Quote #1

In one important sense, Marxism is a religion. To the believer it presents, first, a system of ultimate ends that embody the meaning of life and are absolute standards by which to judge events and actions; and, secondly, a guide to those ends which implies a plan of salvation and the indication of the evil from which mankind, or a chosen section of mankind, is to be saved Picture Quote #1

Why should we stunt our ambitions and impoverish our lives in order to be insulted and looked down upon in our old age Picture Quote #1

I know that it is not enough to be remembered for books and theories. One does not make a difference unless it is a difference in people’s lives Picture Quote #1

It is, after all, only common sense to realize that, but for the fact that economic life is a process of incessant internal change, the business cycle, as we know it, would not exist Picture Quote #1

Pessimistic visions about almost anything always strike the public as more erudite than optimistic ones Picture Quote #1

It is not true that democracy will always safeguard freedom of conscience better than autocracy. Witness the most famous of all trials.

The essential point to grasp is that in dealing with capitalism we are dealing with an evolutionary process Picture Quote #1

The typical citizen drops down to a lower level of mental performance as soon as he enters the political field. He argues and analyzes in a way which he would readily recognize as infantile within the sphere of his real interests. He becomes primitive again Picture Quote #1

We always plan too much and always think too little. We resent a call to thinking and hate unfamiliar argument that does not tally with what we already believe or would like to believe Picture Quote #1

Lack of outlets, excess capacity, complete deadlock, in the end regular recurrence of national bankruptcies and other disasters-perhaps world wars from sheer capitalist despair-may confidently be anticipated. History is as simple a that Picture Quote #1

Surely, nothing can be more plain or even more trite common sense than the proposition that innovation [...] is at the center of practically all the phenomena, difficulties, and problems of economic life in capitalist society Picture Quote #1

Politicians are like bad horsemen who are so preoccupied with staying in the saddle that they can’t bother about where they’re going Picture Quote #1

Democracy is a political method, that is to say, a certain type of institutional arrangement for arriving at political - legislative and administrative - decisions and hence incapable of being an end in itself Picture Quote #1

Capitalism inevitably and by virtue of the very logic of its civilization creates, educates and subsidizes a vested interest in social unrest Picture Quote #1

For the duration of its collective life, or the time during which its identity may be assumed, each class resembles a hotel or an omnibus, always full, but always of different people Picture Quote #1
