Ninety-five years after the publication of the first edition of Schumpeter's "Theory of Economic Development," the publisher presents a reprint of the "original edition" with an introduction by the Marburg economists Jochen Röpke and Olaf Stiller. Readers have the opportunity to study the unabridged first edition of this early Schumpeter work, which spans 548 pages. This allows for a completely new perspective on this economic classic. While economists have already struggled with later, theoretically "softened" editions, they must prepare for considerations that, in their radicalism and foresight, have not been matched by any economist in development and evolutionary economics to this day—if they could read Schumpeter from 1911. In particular, the second chapter, "The Fundamental Phenomenon of Economic Development," and the unknown seventh chapter.
