I found Schumpeter referenced in Cantrill's The Inculcation of Systems Thinking, a brilliant presentation at Brown (Cantrill's blog at Sun, "The Observation Deck", is awesome). He seems worth reading.

An amazing book. If after reading this you continue to sport the fashionable liberal mindset (which seems to be all-too-common among those confident individuals in possession or in progress of an undergraduate degree) then it appears that you'll need some sound reasoning on a practical level in support. Anyways, the book offers some convincing arguments and grounded insight and requires a backward and forward reading so to be sufficiently understood--which I'm far from.
