  1. @ordoetchao Thanks a lot!
  2. @ordoetchao I'm extrapolating from a strain of libertarian thought that tends to cite Schumpeter but that might be unrepresentative.
  3. @ordoetchao You're probably right. I'm not wedded to the Schumpeterian label.
  4. @interfluidity Thanks!
  5. @ordoetchao Fair enough. This is why I said they "tend to" be unconcerned with competition.
  6. @ordoetchao @interfluidity Hayekians and Schumpeterians (as I've defined them) both focus on dynamic efficiency but define them differently.
  7. @ordoetchao @interfluidity I don't think I said anything about a trade-off between static and dynamic efficiency.
  8. @ordoetchao @interfluidity What did I get wrong?
  9. @ordoetchao @interfluidity Happy to admit I haven't read much Schumpeter and may not be perfectly capturing Joseph Schumpeter's views.
  10. @edmigper Thanks!
  11. Do you have a Schumpeterian or Hayekian view of innovation? I explain the difference: forbes.com/sites/timothyl…
  12. @superwuster Man, I should sell my review copy.
  13. This Hayekian @superwuster paper on patent law is hugely underappreciated. papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cf… Cc @elidourado @ModeledBehavior
  14. @ModeledBehavior Does that mean the zombie apocalypse has started?
  15. Racial politics aside, this woman's mockery of midwifery is bizarre and ignorant: chronicle.com/blogs/brainsto…
  16. @elidourado OK, then I want your reaction to the economic model I sent you!
  17. @elidourado @ModeledBehavior Meaning what? Aren't Comcast's internet rates the same regardless of what you're downloading?
  18. @ModeledBehavior @elidourado Consolidation makes the pie smaller but gives Comcast a bigger piece of it.
