Entrepreneurship in Theory and History

by Youssef Cassis (Editor), Ioanna Pepelasis Minoglou (Editor)

In the study of entrepreneurship, which over the last decade has become an expanding subject of scholarship, there has been little interaction between economists and historians. Most historical studies of entrepreneurship lack a theoretical and comparative approach. For the first time a single volume combines a comparison of eight national experiences, spanning three continents. The chapters, written by leading specialists, combine historical archive-based work and synthetic theoretical surveys, reflecting the current state and new directions in research.
