This biography is the clearest and most comprehensive guide to Schumpeter’s life and work and the turbulence of his time which has, like the classic business cycle, come round again. As a part of my regular academic activities under, I was assigned by Professor Dr. Rasheduzzaman, my honourable course teacher , to review the book “Prophet of Innovation: Joseph Schumpeter and Creative Destruction by Thomas K. McCraw” . Hope, this review with will give a compact and clear notion about the the book.
1. What is Creative Destruction?
a. Creative Destruction and Marxism
b. Creative Destruction and Schumpeter
c. Creative Destruction and Laissez-Faire Economics
2. Cases of Creative Destruction
3. Problems of Creative Destruction
4. Creative Destruction vs Economic Destruction

Creative Destruction
2 Contradictions of Capitalism
Inevitable loss of consumer: As capitalists modernize and automate, they pay workers less and less, which eliminates the consumers (aka. The worker) needed to buy his products
Monopoly: As capitalists compete against each other, losers are relegated to the proletariat class until there is only 1 capitalist left.
Thus, Capitalism’s collapse is inevitable.
Marx on Capitalism’s Contradiction and Collapse
Creative destruction (aka. Schumpeter's gale):
Joseph Schumpeter
“Gale of creative destruction“: "process of industrial mutation that incessantly revolutionizes the economic structure from within, incessantly destroying the old one, incessantly creating a new one".
New players introduce innovations that erod.
“…functionality is the ability to become integrated into an overall scheme. An objects functionality is the very thing that enables it to transcend its main ‘function’ in the direction of a secondary one, to play a part, to become a combining element, an adjustable item, within a universe of signs.”
from the System of Objects by Jean Baudrillard 1968
This seminar course will have two parts, one practical and one theoretical. Throughout the course we will question the artificial opposition between theory and practice and seek to critically engage with the discipline of architecture through both. The practical part will be to make very precise and detailed drawings of public space, based on field studies and careful first hand observations, design, materials as well as behaviors and traces of everyday use will hopefully provide us with in depth knowledge of urban spaces throughout the region of Stockholm. These drawings and observations then becomes records for a larger discussions of the history, present and future of public space. As a support for our discussions there will be a series of film screenings, text seminars and invited speakers. The outcome, drawings and discussions, will be put together and hopefully also published or shown in an exhibition.
A talk at the September 2015 conference of the geopolitical economy research group, on the analytical foundation of the concepts of creativity and culture. An attempt to outline a wider framework for discussion between conflicting views of creativity and culture, by posing the question 'what does cultural production consist of in a commodity economy?' or 'what kind of industry is creation?'
For the most time of human history, life was local and linear. Local in the way that anything that happened was close by, a least within a walking distance. Linear in the way that your life was the same as your father and your childs. Nothing changed.
Just like the evolution of man, technology improvements follow an evolutionary progress. New ideas or products are to begin with immature and fragile with slow improvements. Then the progress accelerates until the products become mature and taken for granted. Then the cycle repeats and a new layer of technology is added to the previous. This process is exponential. One such observation of exponential is Moore’s Law.
Any new technology that gets wide acceptance in society needs to be adopted by people. We will explore that type of people are the first to adopt new things, and what types come later.
At any given moment it is easy to look back to see how technology has changed over time. At the same time it is difficult to see what transformations are taking place in current moment, and even more difficult to see where things are going.
In the late 19th century a revolution in science took off. It was easy to see the vast number of inventions and entrepreneurial spirit of the time. At the dawn of the 20th century, it seems that everything had been invented. Yet, in the 20th century we saw more innovations and more technologically advanced than in all history of mankind before that. Never in history have we seen such dramatic changes in the way people live and work.
In this lecture we explore what to make of technology. We define the term we will use in the course. Terms defined are technology, product performance, and innovation to name few.
Why is futures literacy relevant for innovation and innovation policy?Per Koch
This presentation was made at the launch of the new Norwegian UNESCO chair in futures literacy, which is to look at the way the future can be used in leadership and innovation policy learning and development. Previous generations of innovation policy har seen the future as an improved version of the present. It is not problematized. A long series of unexpected crises (climate, pollution, corona, Fascism, Ukraine etc.) has shown us that the future is not given, and that our ideas of the future might actually create a kind of mental lock-in that makes use incapable of handling the crises and challenges when they arrive. By looking at futures literacy and anticipation policy-makers and stakeholders may become more aware of their own mental maps and preconceptions and become more capable of handling societal challenges, complexity and the unexpected.

Technology evolves by exchange of ideas. With speciality began prosperity. After one idea comes another idea, by combining ideas into new ideas. In this lecture we look at the fundamental reason for technological progress and it is similar to that of how species evolve in nature.
At any given time, with all the knowledge we have, new knowledge can emerge. We call this the adjacent possible. It explains why new inventions are invented when they are, and why they are not possible before.

Disruptive innovation, smartphones and the decline of NokiaChris Sandström
Apple’s IPhone was first revealed in January 2007. Out of curiosity I pondered through Nokia’s quarterly presentation slides in the years 2007-2010 in order to get a better idea about how they related to the ongoing shift from feature phones to smartphones. While such a brief and shallow review will not give the full picture of Nokia’s response, it might still reveal something.
