Content Analysis Using Amazon.com

Arthur Diamond uses Amazon.com’s “Search Inside” feature to find books discussing “creative destruction” or other Schumpeterian concepts. Conclusion: Book authors, writing for the general reader, love Schumpeter while academic journal authors, writing for their fellow specialists, tend to ignore Schumpeter because his ideas are too difficult to model formally.
