Joseph A. Schumpeter on Civilization - Dictionary of Arguments
Brocker I 254 Civilization/Schumpeter: Schumpeter ascribes all important achievements of progress in modern society to the capitalist process, starting with the rationalization of thinking and the emergence of modern sciences and arts, through the redirection of individual talents of the church and military to opportunities for advancement as economic entrepreneurs, to the institutional structures of the free constitutional state including its inward-oriented social legislation and its outward-oriented striving for peace. This context also includes two labels that Schumpeter only deals with later:"There is no more democratic institution than a market" (1). And further:"The capitalist process democratizes consumption" (2). 1. Joseph A. Schumpeter, Capitalism, Socialism and Democracy, New York 1942. Dt.: Joseph A.
