Joseph A. Schumpeter on Bureaucracy - Dictionary of Arguments
Sobel I 33 Bureaucracy/Schumpeter/Sobel/Clemens: (…) while [Schumpeter] agreed with Marx's conclusion that capitalism would be replaced by socialism, he firmly disagreed with the cause of the transition. >Capitalism/Schumpeter, >Karl Marx, >Marxism. Schumpeter instead believed that capitalism would be destroyed by its very economic success as it produced an intellectual class that would subsequently work to undermine the systems of private property and private contracting that underpin the economic system of capitalism. Contributing to this transition, Schumpeter also believed that entrepreneurship and innovation would become bureaucratic within big firms and carried out as a routine matter based on specialists: „We observe ... the individual leadership of the entrepreneur tends to lose in importance and to be increasingly replaced by the mechanized teamwork of specialized employees within large corporations ... [and] that the capitalist process by its very success tends to raise the economic and political position of groups that are hostile to it … shifting of economic activity from the private to the public sphere, or, as we may also put it, toward increasing bureaucratisation of economic life.“ (EOE(1): 207-208) >Entrepreneurship/Schumpeter, >Interventionism. 1.

Clemence. - - - Mause I 71 Bureaucracy/Schumpeter: Thesis: Capitalism is increasingly shaped by large bureaucratic enterprises, which would displace traditional, innovative owner-entrepreneurs; through the growing influence of these large enterprises, the state (as a counterweight, so to speak) would play an increasingly important role in economic life - a development that would eventually end in socialism.(1) >Capitalism, >State capitalism, >Socialism. 1.
