El uso del concepto de la voluntad general, incluyendo el uso directo de la frase francesa volonté générale, a menudo asociada a Rousseau, hace esto aparente. This article uses Rousseau's ideas to argue against Schumpeter's minimalist model and in favor of what he calls the classical doctrine of democracy.Įl famoso trabajo de Schumpeter Capitalismo, Socialismo y Democracia expresa una teoría de la democracia minimalista que él contrasta con lo que llama la “teoría clásica de la democracia.” Esta “doctrina clásica” parece ser una interpretación encubierta del contrato social de Rousseau. Rousseau, furthermore, provides an adequate defense against the criticisms Schumpeter makes against his theory. Although Rousseau seems on the surface an odd choice as the archetypal democrat, Schumpeter's reading of him has some merit Rousseau's social contract can be a democratic society in a certain sense of the word. The use of the concept of the general will, including the direct use of the French phrase volonté générale often associated with Rousseau, makes this apparent. Joseph Schumpeter's famous Capitalism, Socialism, and Democracy articulates a minimalist theory of democracy that he contrasts with what he calls the “classical doctrine of democracy.” This “classical doctrine” appears to be a thinly veiled democratic interpretation of Rousseau's social contract, although Schumpeter rarely mentions Rousseau.
