text: There may be additional explanations for the acceleration of structural economic change. What counts, however, is the result: Schumpeter’s ‘creative destruction’ – the displacement of old skills, trades and entire industries with their dependent localities, by more efficient new skills, trades and entire industries – is now apt to span years, often very few years, rather than generations.

text: More than the much-remarked squeeze on working-class jobs in areas of the economy such as manufacturing, [Edward] Luttwak saw an accelerated “creative destruction” affecting clerical jobs in white-collar data-heavy industries such as banking that were being disrupted by capital's “Schumpeteresque” technology-assisted modernisation as they were digitised.
