Topic: Destruction


In the News (Mon 28 Dec 09)

  
  Creative destruction - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Creative destruction is the colourful expression introduced by the economist Joseph Schumpeter to describe his view of the process of industrial transformation that accompanies radical innovation.
In fact, successful innovation is normally a source of temporary market power, eroding the profits and position of old firms, yet ultimately succumbing to the pressure of new inventions commercialised by competing entrants.
Creative destruction is a powerful economic concept because it can explain many of the dynamics of industrial change: the transition from a competitive to a monopolistic market, and back again.

 No Life Til Metal - CD Gallery - Destruction
Destruction are one of the first German thrash bands, helping to pioneer the style along with Kreator and Coroner.
Destruction has always come across to me as a "noisy" thrash band, something they began to clean up in later years with "Released from Agony" and "Cracked Brain", but returned to with "All Hell's Breaking Loose." I particularly like this version of "Mad Butcher" better than the original version that appeared on the band's debut.
Destruction, along with Coroner and Kreator, defined the early German thrash movement of the late 80's/early 90's.

 Joseph Schumpeter, "Creative Destruction"
The opening up of new markets, foreign or domestic, and the organizational development from the craft shop and factory to such concerns as U.S. Steel illustrate the same process of industrial mutation—if I may use that biological term—that incessantly revolutionizes the economic structure from within, incessantly destroying the old one, incessantly creating a new one.
This process of Creative Destruction is the essential fact about capitalism.
It must be seen in its role in the perennial gale of creative destruction; it cannot be understood irrespective of it or, in fact, on the hypothesis that there is a perennial lull.
