Abstract

Schumpeter's cycle theory is part of an analysis of the essence of the process of evolution under competitive capitalism. By competitive capitalism Schumpeter means a capitalist economic system characterized by many small producers, the proprietorship form of enterprise, and a banking system with relative freedom of action. This type of capitalism is differentiated from trustified capitalism where the giant corporate enterprise and a banking system closely supervised by governmental regulation are characteristic. To the latter, Schumpeter does not profess that his cycle theory is applicable.
