Abstract
El concepto de innovación ha sido fundamental en el desarrollo de la historia del pensamiento económico. En este campo, Marx procuró explicar el movimiento de las innovaciones en el sistema capitalista y, de manera más general, el desarrollo de las fuerzas productivas independientemente de su época histórica. Schumpeter representó un súbito giro en este camino al rechazar aquel intento de establecer leyes universales de carácter general. Este punto de inflexión allanaría el camino para el posterior despliegue de un enfoque neo-schumpeteriano que aspiraba a continuar el legado del maestro a través de la profundización descriptiva del fenómeno innovador asociado al debate sobre el papel del Estado. En este marco, el presente artículo explora tal transformación del concepto de innovación, así como la forma en que, con sus avances y limitaciones, se ha conectado con la noción de Estado Nacional.
Highlights
Innovation is a fundamental concept in the history of economic thought
After the introduction, we address the way in which the concept of innovation was presented by Marx within the framework of his critique of political economy, as well as the discussions that this concept generated in relation to the metaphysical approach of general universal laws
Throughout this paper, we have reconstructed the way in which the concept of innovation features in Marx’s work and how it was embedded in a broader field: the development of productive forces, regardless of their historical form
Summary
Innovation is a fundamental concept in the history of economic thought. Marx tried to find the conceptual thread that explained the law that governed the movement of innovations in the capitalist system, and the development of the productive forces regardless of their historical epoch. Schumpeter represented a sudden fork in this theoretical path by rejecting those undertakings that intended to establish general universal laws This turning point would pave the way for a Schumpeterian evolutionary approach in which scholars sought to continue the legacy of their mentor in the descriptive deepening of the phenomenon and in the discussion of the role of the state within this framework. After the introduction, we address the way in which the concept of innovation was presented by Marx within the framework of his critique of political economy, as well as the discussions that this concept generated in relation to the metaphysical approach of general universal laws On this basis, we reconstruct the way in which Schumpeter took up and reacted to the Marxian approach of innovation and metaphysics.
