José M. Menudo

The Entrepreneur in the History of Political Economy

The Hunting for Heffalumps in the Early Economic Analysis

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Modern economic theory has marginalised the figure of the entrepreneur, despite their significance in economic activity. This book addresses the role of the entrepreneur in the economic thought of the 18th and early 19th centuries, filling a gap in the historiography of economics.
