Abstract

This paper builds upon the work of Dalton and Logan (Rev Austrian Econ, 2020a) by describing the motivation for and mechanics of teaching a course dedicated to Schumpeter as a study abroad program in the city of Vienna. We argue that the qualities Vienna possesses, both historical and contemporary, make a good laboratory for exploring Schumpeter’s ideas and that the process of encountering a new culture through a study abroad course is the best way to internalize his theory of innovation. To do so, our paper first outlines the course content before describing the linkages between “techno-romantic” Vienna and Schumpeter’s intellectual development. We then describe specific examples for how instructors can use Vienna as a laboratory for teaching Schumpeter’s ideas. We close by sharing preparatory details for instructors and offering the perspective of a student who took this course in the summer of 2018.
