the Schumpeterian Trilogy Invention/Innovation/Diffusion and the long
waves this may generate is one aspect that I would like to integrate
(but have not yet achieved this at all) and the idea that these waves
may/must end up in some sort of (Western type) competitive socialism
(where the ex-bourgeois element is integrated with only non-monetary
incentives) can be a starting point for reflecting socialism anew
(though many things in his Capitalism, Socialism and Democracy are
outdated meanwhile, like the socialist blueprint he is describing there).
Best, Peter
