It’s the difference between short term economic process and evolutionary paradigm change, and ideological half truth as opposed to broad and far seeing vision.
Paradigm changes are characterized by integration of a new idea into an existing structure….that genuinely transforms the entirety of the system because a basic inversion of a “truth” has occurred and a former overweening power has been taught a lesson in humility.
An accurate observation of the present economic system like “creative destruction” is usually grasped onto by political and economic ideologues in order to further an agenda, and it can even be affirmed by economic theorists as a truth when all it really is, is an accurate observation of a system where blunt force short term change is the rule despite much more humane and ethical options being available….if the dominant economic force making its blunt effects a “reality” is actually looked at and made to take its place along side the rest of the system’s agents.
Historical examples, underlying concept behind the paradigm change in each case
