Schumpeter. The Man Who Discovered Capitalism

Description

This film tells three narratives: the story of Joseph Schumpeter's life, the development of his ideas, and how the digital revolution illustrates these ideas. Schumpeter was a colorful character who defied social conventions. He was also a radical thinker, and only now are his ideas getting the recognition they deserve. A central idea in his theoy is "creative destruction"—innovation drives economic growth—and the key actors are entrepreneurs. Successful entrepreneurs, including Soundcloud's Eric Wahlforss, Eventbrite's Renaud Visage, and Tesla's Martin Eberhard share the secrets of their success, while staff who worked at Apple in the early years, and Silicon Valley journalist Robert Cringley provide insights into the stroy of the digital revolution. Former students of Schumpeter, such as Nobel Prize winner Robert Solow, bring their teacher's character and eccentricities to life.
