Note 596 — Chapter XXV
Reading edition
Schumpeter's contrast between statics and dynamics is in most essentials closely parallel to Veblen's contrast between the theory of wealth and the theory of prosperity, and his main conclusions resemble Veblen's, despite Schumpeter's optimism and Veblen's pessimism, and despite temperamental and methodological differences. Most of my criticisms of Veblen apply also to Schumpeter.
