Give the point of view of Joseph Schumpeter on economic development. Explain the pros and cons.

the economic environment fuelled by cycles of innovation. Schumpeter did not believe in diminishing
returns to innovation. The only reason profits declined was competition.](/v2/_next/image?url=https%3A%2F%2Fcontent.bartleby.com%2Fqna-images%2Fquestion%2F6b8aa816-8770-4596-a86b-2309ba25a4d7%2F384d656f-4d86-47b9-a21e-eae730bd0a35%2Ft7x9vc_processed.jpeg&w=3840&q=75)
