Abstract
This chapter addresses the society to which Schumpeter referred in a study from the post-World War I period (1922), when he stated that capitalism was transforming so obviously into something else that he considered not the fact itself but only its interpretation to be a point of contention. Whether socialism was what capitalism became after the war and the subsequent revolutions and counterrevolutions, Schumpeter only considered to be a matter of taste and terminology (pp. 41–43).
