Translated text of the 1915 Schumpeter

Joseph A. Schumpeter: Past and future of Social Sciences, edited by ADELINO Zanini, 2011 LiberiLibri

When taking leave from the University of Czernowitz, in November 1911, Schumpeter held a conference at the Sozialwissenschaftlichen Akademischen Verein, a sort of farewell lecture, from which he drew after reworking Past and future of the social sciences. Published in 1915, after it had already appeared the masterly Theory of Economic Development, the brief text presents a rapid and sometimes corrosive analysis of the genesis and possible developments in the social sciences, the author puts at the center of those "conflicts between schools that represent the core of its original sociology of knowledge.

L’opera si misura con la genesi dello statuto delle scienze sociali – rigorosamente al plurale –, ed è da leggersi quale anticipazione di quella che sarà la fondamentale parte introduttiva della postuma History of Economic Analysis (1954). Prima della presente edizione, del testo era apparsa solo una traduzione giapponese.
