This book focuses on the specific traits and nature of
entrepreneurial human capital and the extent to which it can be
stimulated by entrepreneurship education - especially when these
activities combine collaborative practices and innovation. It
includes a comprehensive collection of articles on how
entrepreneurship education can be structured, providing theoretical
reflections as well as empirical evidence. As such it contributes
to the ongoing debate on the teachability of entrepreneurial skills
and the role of innovation and collaboration in the design of
educational programs that aim to spread entrepreneurial human
capital.

This book is a response to Friedrich Nietzsche's provocative
question: How much and how does ressentiment condition our daily
life? During the twentieth century we witnessed veritable eruptions
of this insidious emotion, and we are still witnesses of its
proliferation at various levels of society. This book explores,
according to Rene Girard's mimetic theory, the anthropological and
social assumptions that make up ressentiment and to investigate its
genesis. The analysis of ressentiment shows that this emotion
evolves from mimetic desire: it is an affective experience that
people have when a rival denies them opportunities or valuable
resources (including status) that they consider to be socially
accessible. It is a specific figure of mimetic desire that is
typical of contemporary society, where the equality that is
proclaimed at the level of values contrasts with striking
inequalities of power and access to material resources. This
dichotomy generates increasing tension between highly competitive
and egalitarian mimetic desires and growing social inequalities.
The ressentiment is ambiguous, and its ambiguity is that of mimetic
desire itself, which we cannot dismiss from our lives. In that it
provides occasions of conflict and baseness, ressentiment can fuel
violence, discord, and injustice, but it also can open
opportunities for growth and justice, and for inventing
institutions that are better adapted to the transformations of our
contemporary society.
