Entrepreneur in the Joseph Schumpeters theory
Abstract
The article attempts to present in a new way theory formulated by J. A. Schumpeter regarding
the most important issues of capitalism: what is the function of an entrepreneur in the capitalistic
economy?, what is possible social position of entrepreneurs?, what does make an
entrepreneur distinct from a capitalist?, do entrepreneurs form a separate social class?. In the Schumpeter's theory, the existence of entrepreneurs performing a unique social function
is typical to the developing capitalism. However, in the contemporary capitalism with its large
corporations, the entrepreneurial function will be decreasing. The entrepreneurs will be replaced
by specialists and bureaucratic economic structures. This phenomenon can have substantial ramifications
resulting eventually in collapse of capitalism. The capitalist society is a specific case of
a commercial society. It is determined by a certain institutional structure. This structure consists
of such important for both capitalists and entrepreneurs elements as: private ownership of factors
of production, regulation of production process through private contracting and credit creation.
The possible collapse of capitalism may lead to a socialist society, defined by Schumpeter as an
institutional structure in which a central authority controls factors of production and production
process itself.
