Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - This profoundly ambitious theoretical work centers on value, understood as everything humans deem worth appropriating. Every society is hierarchical, and the top echelons are dominated by elites, the quality of which in the business, politics, and knowledge arenas determines economic and human development. All elites run elite business models that both create and extract value, originate or transfer risk, and use their power and agency to shape institutions. This book argues that when inclusive value creation outweighs extractive value transfers, the outcomes for society at large are positive. Sustainable value creation happens when intra-elite contests result in more innovation than rent seeking, more free trade than protectionism, and more competition than monopolies. Leveraging diverse ideas from economics (value), sociology (power), political economy (the distribution of value), and management (the value creation and appropriation framework), the book advances a sweeping inter-disciplinary framework that positions the meso-level elite system at its core. This extends the institutional perspective and acts as the transmission mechanism between the micro-level firm and the macro-level political economy. A wealth of elite business model cases are considered throughout its pages ranging from Neolithic grain to AI and from Caesar to Trump to further an elite theory of economic development that transcends traditional Left Right debates, is rooted in its own speculative philosophy, and yet is highly practical, with proposals for structural reform, cost of equity calculations, and an approach to sustainability based on weighting and offsetting extractive transfers. This economic treatise supplies the conceptual tools for a realistic account of how the world works today and, in its discussion of elite judgment, offers an ethical framework to guide elite transformational leadership. It will be essential reading for researchers, policymakers, and business leaders around the world looking for fresh ideas on how to navigate and reappraise how we address current realities.

First edition of the economist's classic work, the author's earliest substantial version of what came to be known as the Schumpeterian system. Octavo, original cloth. In very good condition, toning to the spine. From the library of economist Tom E. Davis, with his name to the front free endpaper. Davis was a economics professor and chair of the economics at Cornell University and was an expert on economic development in Latin America. First editions are uncommon. The work contains among the clearest statements of Schumpeter's radical conception of "circular flow", the business cycle, and the role of the entrepreneur. This translation features a new preface by the author. The Theory of Economic Development has been judged as Schumpeter's "most innovative work" (ANB). In it, Schumpeter "replaced Marx's greedy, bloodsucking capitalist by the dynamic innovating entrepreneur as the linchpin of the capitalist system, responsible not just for technical progress but the very existence of a positive rate of profit on capital. Distinguishing between 'inventions' and 'innovations', he stressed the fact that scientific and technical inventions amount to nothing unless they are adopted, which calls for as much daring and imagination as the original act of discovery by the scientist or engineer. Furthermore, the 'innovations' that count for economic progress consist of much more than the new machines that capture popular attention: they take the form of new products, new sources of supply, new forms of industrial and financial organization just as much as of new methods of production. The capitalist earns 'interest', but the entrepreneur earns 'profit' and without the dynamic change created by the entrepreneur, the rate of profit would soon fall to zero. His theory of the entrepreneur has ever since been the starting point for every subsequent discussion of entrepreneurship" (Blaug, pp. 215-16). This work was published as Volume XLVI in the Harvard Economic Studies series. Redvers Opie, the translator, was a personal friend of the author and a son-in-law of F. W. Taussig. Swedberg S.003. Mark Blaug, Great Economists before Keynes, 1985).
