Joseph A. Schumpeter on Marx - Dictionary of Arguments
Brocker I 251 Marx/Schumpeter: Schumpeter states that Karl Marx's "practical power of judgement", even his "political method", was based on "diagnostic errors" and "wishful thinking". (1) There are also more friendly comments by Schumpeter about the scientist Marx. Marx had above all asked the right questions and developed a multidisciplinary vision that focused on a "process of incessant change in the economic structure"(2). Brocker I 252 SchumpeterVsMarx: Schumpeter criticizes Marx, which he also criticizes in Ricardo and Keynes: that their scientific statements are calculated for political effect (and thus disguise the scientific content, making it difficult to criticize him constructively). >D. Ricardo, >J.M. Keynes. But to preach in the dress of the analyst and analyze with a view to the needs of the heart, this created a passionate following and gave the Marxist that greatest gift which consists in the conviction that "what one is and what one stands for will never fail, but will ultimately be victorious"(3). Brocker I 253 Economy/Marx/Schumpeter: Schumpeter pro Marx: he was not satisfied with the usual buzzwords of overreaching or cheating, but analyzed exploitation as something that resulted from the own logic of capital, independent of the intentions of the individual.(4) 1.
