I Have 2 Holes In My Butt

2010, the Missing "rien ne va plus" and the frenzy that follows

J ochen Röpke and Olaf Stiller write in the foreword to the reprint of the 1st Edition of Schumpeter Seppis " theory of economic development " about the two major differences that would result from the employment of economists with "economic development" result: some believe in the input, the other to the innovation logic.

interesting, because it also results in two different human ideal types: the landlord and the contractor. The host is in an economy that operates on the input logic, the maker Type: The host is the one who skillfully performs its routine operations and making money through this. He stands out above all the fact to work. The other, the businessman, the famous work of Schumpeter's innovator who dares to the New, which gives the risk forehead. An idealist who believes in the strength (or should we actually tend to say mass appeal) of his ideas.



The beauty of the latter is that we are sliding with him not with the same violence in the old Marxist dilemma that must be open at the end of the capitalization of any new world Akkumulations-/Aneignungsbereiche. While the economy is doomed, with the play figures, in order to gain added value (for example, by pressing the remuneration of its employees), the entrepreneur taps into ideas and innovations at best a new world (out of which the value is obtained) or new areas such as the open expanses of the WWW. At least that Schumpeter's utopia.

Even more than the host of classical economics is Schumpeter's subject is a Player: With the thoughts always ready in the future to destroy the present, and therefore always in a frenzy at the border to destroy its own conditions. That is, it seems to me that our present future. This is perhaps where our paradigms currently also the ebb of this crisis to move even more than before.

Perhaps, who knows, we are witnessing the resurrection of a Schumpeter subject and the death of the old host / entrepreneur, or his rescue by the transformation in the parasite, the Serres describes as poetic, sitztend at the nodes of the knowledge economy.

The solution would then be to save capitalism by an even purer capitalism. Self-cleaning and wilder than ever. Well hopefully it works.
