Significance Debt markets have failed to pressure Argentina to end the impasse with holdouts, with the government arguing that it could not offer them new terms without offering similar concessions to holders of restructured debt. With elections scheduled for October, the current government is likely to kick the problem to its successor, leaving Argentina facing continued litigation in US and UK courts. Impacts The Central Bank has effectively managed drawdowns of dollar reserves, helping the government to maintain its hard line against holdouts. While this policy persists, the country will remain locked out of international capital markets. The severe shortage of dollars will continue, and will continue to dampen growth prospects until resolved.


Significance Recovery will be slower in 2017 than previously estimated, at 0.9% instead of 1.7%, the bank said. The low price of oil is the main burden on the flagging Russian economy. Moreover, high inflation due to the weak ruble will prevent the Central Bank of Russia (CBR) from lowering its benchmark rate from the current 11% before the fourth quarter of 2016. Impacts Protracted economic turmoil could translate into street protests, the first challenge Putin has faced since the 2011 election. State intervention in the economy will increase given the weakness of investor funding and domestic capital markets. Unless Western sanctions are lifted in 2016, a return to a growth trajectory is unlikely. Foreign currency reserves may run low by mid-2017 unless the economy recovers.

While the previous chapter highlighted the resurgence of Schumpeter’s concept of money in economic theory, this chapter focuses on three examples from recent economic history in which the interdependence of finance and innovation invokes a deliberate Schumpeterian interpretation. The first example is about the striking rise of modern venture capital in Schumpeter’s immediate geographical and intellectual environment during his years at Harvard, to which he contributed a consistent intellectual frame (also through his personal ties with people like David Rockefeller, Frank Taussig, or George Doriot). The second example addresses the recurrent instances of financial crises, in particular the Great Recession of 2008-09, and invokes a Schumpeterian interpretation mainly via the instability theorem of his student Hyman Minsky. Finally, we turn to the stream of innovations that relate to the increasing digitalisation of money ranging from cryptocoins to central bank digital currencies (CBDC).
