This book establishes a chronological trace of the entrepreneur as
treated in economic literature in order to give a more wholesome
perspective to contemporary writings and teachings on
entrepreneurship. It focuses on the nature and role of the
entrepreneur, and of entrepreneurship, as revealed in economic
literature as early as the eighteenth century, when Richard
Cantillon first coined the term 'entrepreneur'. The authors then
trace how Joseph Schumpeter's perspective, among other's, on
entrepreneurship came to dominate the world's understanding of the
term. Due to Schumpeter's dominant influence, entrepreneurship has
come to occupy a primary role in the theory of economic
development. In this book Hebert and Link discuss various key
topics including the German Tradition, the Austrian and the English
School of thought as well as individuals such as Alfred Marshall
and Jeremy Bentham. The historical survey also illustrates the
tension that often exists between "theory" and "practice" and how
it has been difficult for economic theory to assimilate a core
concept that plays a vital role in social and economic change.
Finally, the book exposes the many different facets of
entrepreneurship as they have been perceived by some of the great
economists throughout the ages.
