TECHNOLOGY AND (NEW) CAPITALISM(S) IN THE LIGHT OF SCHUMPETERIAN DEVELOPMENTAL THEORY: SATISFACTION OF CONSTITUTIONAL SUSTAINABILITY AND INNOVATION

Abstract

This article investigates how new forms of capitalism, specifically conscious capitalism and stakeholder capitalism, relate to the constitutional concepts of sustainability and innovation in Brazil, analyzed in the light of Joseph Schumpeter's theory of economic development. Schumpeter's theory, which highlights innovation as the engine of development through the process of "creative destruction", serves as a basis for assessing the compatibility of these capitalist models with the principles established in articles 218, 219 and 225 of the Federal Constitution. The study adopts a qualitative and bibliographical approach, examining Schumpeter's theory, the foundations of classical capitalism and its critiques, and comparing them with the new capitalist currents. It is concluded that these models have the potential to promote sustainable and inclusive economic development, aligning with the Brazilian constitutional guidelines and contributing to the evolution of capitalism in the context of the twenty-first century.
