heal.abstract	Purpose: The purpose of this paper is to argue that Joseph Schumpeter's views are influenced by the French social philosopher Gabriel Tarde who delivered a theory of social evolution based on technological change as its driving force. Design/methodology/approach: The paper investigates the affinities in Schumpeter's and Tarde's respective theoretical and methodological approaches. Findings: In this context, the paper finds striking similarities in their central visions. Practical implications: Understanding Schumpeter's theories implies a deeper acquaintance with Tarde's oeuvre. Originality/value: The paper concludes that several Schumpeterian insights appear to be less original. © Emerald Group Publishing Limited.	en
