Throughout the history of economic thought, the entrepreneur a
wide variety of roles. Once cast as a fundamental agent in
production, distribution and growth theories, he has now
surprisingly disappeared from economic theory.
This volume accounts for this disappearance, exploring how and
why such a fundamental explanatory variable disappeared from
economic theory. Barreto provides a concise review and
classification of the many entrepreneurial theories put forward
throughout the history of economic thought. The author illustrates
that the decline of the entrepreneur in economic theory coincides
with the rise of the firm as an organizing principle and considers
how the replacement of the human element with a mechanistic one has
led to disenchantment with microeconomic theory.
This fascinating book will interest economists from a range of
disciplines including the history of economic thought,
microeconomics and entrepreneurship.
