Abstract

Schumpeter shows that bank credit acts as money-capital and, therefore, constitutes the necessary premise for the realization ofthe innovative processes planned by entrepreneurs. This makes itimportantto specify the debt contracts between each bank and entrepreneurs during the prosperity phase of Schumpeter’s cyclical development. The present paper aims to point outthe achievements and the limits of Schumpeter’s monetary theory with respect to this point, that is the debt contract design. On the side of the limits, I maintain that Schumpeter’s approach, although representing one of the most stimulating contributions in the history of economic analysis, asks for refinements as regard to the objective-function of the individual banks, the determination of the interest rates, and the usableness of the credit demand and supply curves. Schumpeter’s posthumous treatise on money provides stimulating insights for the definition of these refinements.
