Entrepreneurship is largely considered to be a positive force,
driving venture creation and economic growth. Critical Perspectives
on Entrepreneurship questions the accepted norms and dominant
assumptions of scholarship on the matter, and reveals how they can
actually obscure important questions of identity, ideology and
inequality. The book's distinguished authors and editors explore
how entrepreneurship study can privilege certain forms of economic
action, whilst labelling other, more collective forms of
organization and exchange as problematic. Demystifying the
archetypal vision of the white, male entrepreneur, this book gives
voice to other entrepreneurial subjectivities and engages with the
tensions, paradoxes and ambiguities at the heart of the topic. This
challenging collection seeks to further the momentum for alternate
analyses of the field, and to promote the growing voice of critical
entrepreneurship studies. It is a useful tool for researchers,
advanced students and policy-makers.
Within mainstream scholarship, it's assumed without question that
entrepreneurship and entrepreneurship education are desirable and
positive economic activities. Drawing on a wide range of
theoretical approaches and political-philosophical perspectives,
critical entrepreneurship studies has emerged to ask the questions
which this assumption obscures. Students of entrepreneurship need
to understand why and how entrepreneurship is seen as a moral force
which can solve social problems or protect the environment, or even
to tackle political problems. It is time to evaluate how such
contributions and insights have entered our classrooms. How much -
if any - critical discussion and insight enters our classrooms? How
do we change when students demand to be taught "how to do it", not
to be critical or reflexive? If educators are to bring alternative
perspectives into the classroom, it will entail a new way of
thinking. There is a need to share ideas and practical approaches,
and that is what the contributions to this volume aim to do and to
illuminate new ways forward in entrepreneurship education.
