Concerning Langlois's long review of McCraw on Schumpeter, I suggest that
"creative destruction" is just a new name for obsolescence, and does not
warrant all the fuss it gets. Schumpeter was a deep and wise writer on
several topics, but renaming obsolescence does not strike me as a great
achievement, except as successful phrase-making. Perhaps others will chime
in and improve my mind on this subject.
