The Economics of Creative Destruction: New Research on Themes from Aghion and Howitt, Edited by UfukAkcigit and JohnVan Reenen (Harvard University Press, 2023)

2023 was a significant year for the economic thought of Joseph A. Schump- eter (1912, 1934, 1942). That year saw the publication of three important books that underscore the relevance of Schumpeter’s ideas: Philippe Aghion, Celine Antonin and Simon Bunel, The Power of Creative Destruction: Economic Upheaval and the Wealth of Nations (Harvard University Press, 2023); The Foundations of Complex Evolving Economies by Giovanni Dosi (Oxford University Press, 2023, ISBN 978- 0-19-286592-2), who won the International Schumpeter Society’s 2024 prize for his work on ‘Transformation: Creative Accu- mulation and Creative Destruction in the Economy’; and the book reviewed here, edited by Ufuk Akcigit and John Van Reenen, The Economics of Creative Destruction: New Research on Themes from Aghion and Howitt (Harvard University Press, 2023). These publications celebrate the insights and acumen of one of the most important economists of the 20th century, Joseph A. Schumpeter.
