Abstract

The paper uncovers the merits of the essay «The creative response in economic history » published by Joseph Alois Schumpeter in the Journal of Economic History in 1947 and ‘almost’ forgotten since then. The correct appreciation of this Schumpeterian contribution is important to for two reasons. It enables to better understand the evolution of Schumpeter’s thinking. The 1947 contribution should be regarded as the final attempt to provide a synthesis of his evolving approaches to the understanding the origins, the causes and the consequences of innovation in economics and in the economy. This 1947 essay is most important also because it portrays innovation as the result of a creative reaction conditional to the characteristics of the context into which it takes place anticipating the notion of innovation as an emergent property of system dynamics.

创新是一种创造性的反应。对熊彼特遗产的重新评价

本文揭示了约瑟夫·阿洛伊斯·熊彼特(Joseph Alois Schumpeter) 1947年在《经济史杂志》(Journal of economic history)上发表的文章《经济史上的创造性反应》(The creative response in economic history)的优点，从那以后，这篇文章“几乎”被遗忘了。正确理解熊彼特的贡献对我们很重要，原因有二。它使我们能够更好地理解熊彼特思想的演变。1947年的贡献应被视为最后一次尝试，以综合他对理解经济学和经济创新的起源、原因和后果的不断演变的方法。这篇1947年的文章也是最重要的，因为它将创新描述为一种创造性反应的结果，这种反应取决于它发生的环境的特征，并预测了创新的概念是系统动力学的一种新兴属性。

期刊介绍： History of Economic Ideas is a new international series of Quaderni di storia dell''economia politica, a journal founded in 1983 to promote collaboration between scholars who share an historical approach to the major issues, the various "revolutions" which have left their mark on economics and the spread of economic ideas beyond the narrow circle of specialists. History of Economic Ideas rejects the dichotomy between "analysis" and "culture": both aspects are of equal importance for a wider understanding of the subject. In a period such as our own, where paradigms which once seemed unshakeable are now being challenged, a multidisciplinary analysis of the historical development of economics might contribute to shedding light on the issues at the root of current debate. Besides essays and critical surveys, the journal includes archive material and reviews of new books on history of economics. History of Economic Ideas is double-blind peer reviewed.
