'''Creative destruction
'''Creative destruction''' according to [[Investopedia]] is a "term coined by Joseph Schumpeter in his work entitled "Capitalism, Socialism and Democracy" (1942) to denote a "process of industrial mutation that incessantly revolutionizes the economic structure from within, incessantly destroying the old one, incessantly creating a new one."[http://www.investopedia.com/terms/c/creativedestruction.asp]
'''
Investopedia also gives the following explanation of the economic benefit of creative destruction:
Creative destruction occurs when something new kills something older. A great example of this is personal computers. The industry, led by Microsoft and Intel, destroyed many mainframe computer companies, but in doing so, entrepreneurs created one of the most important inventions of this century.
