First published in 1942, it is largely unmathematical compared with neoclassical works, focusing on unexpected, rapid spurts of entrepreneur-driven growth instead of static models.It is the third most cited book in the social sciences published before 1950, behind Marx's Capital and The Wealth of Nations by Adam Smith.
