«Capitalism, Socialism and Democracy» is the essay by Joseph A. Schumpeter, published by HarperCollins Publishers in paperback (437 pages, in English).
Schumpeter examines the relationship between capitalism and democracy and argues that the very economic success of the capitalist system ends up undermining its foundations: increased prosperity spreads education and critical thinking, and that social pressure translates into demands for socialist policies that ultimately erode the capitalist order.
Work originally published in 1942; this fifth edition includes a new introduction by Tom Bottomore, bibliographic references and an index.
For readers interested in political economy, democratic theory and the debate between capitalism and socialism.
