The best horse in the Viennese stables: Gottfried Haberler and Joseph Schumpeter

Author

Listed:
  • Stephan Boehm

Abstract

Haberler knew Schumpeter as a mentor, colleague and fatherly friend for almost 25 years. His well-known obituary of Schumpeter, besides offering an overview of Schumpeter’s work, brings to light a wealth of biographical information, invaluable spadework for future biographers. The obituary draws attention to various facets of Schumpeter’s multi-layered personality and notes the ironical tone in his writings. Schumpeter draws on irony as a rhetorical strategy when he considers the prospects for capitalism in Capitalism, Socialism and Democracy. The ironical mode as a common ploy for dealing with disaster is ingrained in the Austrian culture of Schumpeter’s youth. Copyright Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg 2015
