Political economist Andrea Capussela discusses how a republican conception of freedom and Schumpeter’s idea of ‘creative destruction’ can converge to foster economic reform and innovation. After working in Mergers & Acquisitions, Andrea became Head of the Economics Unit of Kosovo’s International Civilian Office in 2008 and later adviser to Moldova’s Minister of Economy. He has spent the last two years as visiting scholar at the London School of Economics working on his new book The Republic of Innovation. 📚 REFERENCESAndrea Lorenzo Capussela, The Republic of Innovation: A New Political Economy of Freedom (Polity, 2025).🔗 LINKS• Website ↗ http://www.intellectualhistory.net/roots-and-branches• Instagram ↗ @roots_and_branches_podcast• X ↗ @rbpod_ih• Bluesky ↗ @rbpodcast• Selma Sondern ↗ www.linkedin.com/in/selma-sondern🎶 MUSIC'A New Year' by Scott Buckley - released under CC-BY 4.0. www.scottbuckley.com.au
