Joseph A. Schumpeter on Class Conflict - Dictionary of Arguments

Brocker I 252
Class conflict/SchumpeterVsMarx/Schumpeter: Schumpeter calls the Marxist theory of the class conflict the "construction of an unbridgeable gap between tool owners and users" (1). Schumpeter sees class theory as "the crippled sister of the economic view of history" (2).
"The exaggeration of the finality and meaning of the dividing line between the capitalist class [...] and the proletariat was only outbid by the exaggeration of antagonism between them." SchumpeterVsMarx: this relationship was at normal time primarily one of cooperation.(3).
