2023 was a significant year for the\r\neconomic thought of Joseph A. Schump-\r\neter (1912, 1934, 1942). That year saw the\r\npublication of three important books that\r\nunderscore the relevance of Schumpeter’s\r\nideas: Philippe Aghion, Celine Antonin and\r\nSimon Bunel, The Power of Creative\r\nDestruction: Economic Upheaval and the\r\nWealth of Nations (Harvard University\r\nPress, 2023); The Foundations of Complex\r\nEvolving Economies by Giovanni Dosi\r\n(Oxford University Press, 2023, ISBN 978-\r\n0-19-286592-2), who won the International\r\nSchumpeter Society’s 2024 prize for his\r\nwork on ‘Transformation: Creative Accu-\r\nmulation and Creative Destruction in the\r\nEconomy’; and the book reviewed here,\r\nedited by Ufuk Akcigit and John Van\r\nReenen, The Economics of Creative\r\nDestruction: New Research on Themes from\r\nAghion and Howitt (Harvard University\r\nPress, 2023). These publications celebrate\r\nthe insights and acumen of one of the most\r\nimportant economists of the 20th century,\r\nJoseph A. Schumpeter.
