Creative Destruction: The Concise Encyclopedia of Economics | Library of Economics and Liberty

Creative Destruction: The Concise Encyclopedia of Economics | Library of Economics and Liberty: "A society cannot reap the rewards of creative destruction without accepting that some individuals might be worse off, not just in the short term, but perhaps forever. At the same time, attempts to soften the harsher aspects of creative destruction by trying to preserve jobs or protect industries will lead to stagnation and decline, short-circuiting the march of progress. Schumpeter’s enduring term reminds us that capitalism’s pain and gain are inextricably linked. The process of creating new industries does not go forward without sweeping away the preexisting order."
