which book would you recommend? he's austrian right... are there better or worse translators for his books?

  The English translations have been around a long time and are fine. His most known and discussed work is "Capitalism, Socialism and Democracy". IMO the core of his relevance to Startups and economic growth is his early book "The Theory of Economic Development", which he wrote in his mid-20's at the turn of the century... but wasn't translated until 1934. Drucker puts Schumpeter in context to Keynes: http://druckersociety.at/index.php/peterdruckerhome/texts/modern-prophets-schumpeter-or-keynes http://druckersociety.at/index.php/peterdruckerhome/texts/mo... (though keep in mind this essay was written in the early 80s when depressions were nowhere in sight; Keynes has proven pretty relevant)
