Schumpeter goes to China? Finance, Innovation and the Entrepreneurial State
24 October 2017, 4:00 pm–7:00 pm
This seminar argues that the state can and should be seen to play a key role in Schumpeter’s theory of capitalist development via its support for investment co-ordination, innovation diffusion, and conflict management. Empirical evidence of this process can be found in East Asian tiger economies, in particular China.
