His books on economic topics were bestsellers from the 1950's through the 1970's and he filled the role of public intellectual in this period on matters of economics and beyond.

²A disruptive innovation is an innovation that disrupts an existing market. The term is used in business and technology literature to describe innovations that improve a product or service in ways that the market does not expect, typically by lowering price or designing for a different set of consumers.
