A Brief History of Entrepreneurship charts how the pursuit of profit by private individuals has been a prime mover in revolutionizing civilization. Entrepreneurs often butt up against processes, technologies, social conventions, and even laws. So they circumvent, innovate, and violate to obtain what they want. This creative destruction has brought about overland and overseas trade, colonization, and a host of revolutionary technologies-from caffeinated beverages to the personal computer-that have transformed society.Consulting rich archival sources, including some that have never before been translated, Carlen maps the course of human history through nine episodes when entrepreneurship reshaped our world. Highlighting the most colorful characters of each era, he discusses Mesopotamian merchants' creation of the urban market economy; Phoenician merchant-sailors intercontinental trade, which came to connect Africa, Asia, and Europe; Chinese tea traders' invention of paper money; the colonization of the Americas; and the current "flattening" of the world's economic playing field. Yet the pursuit of profit hasn't always moved us forward. From slavery to organized crime, Carlen explores how entrepreneurship can sometimes work at the expense of others. He also discusses the new entrepreneurs who, through the nascent space tourism industry, are leading humanity to a multiplanetary future. By exploring all sides of this legacy, Carlen brings much-needed detail to the role of entrepreneurship in revolutionizing civilization.

Was übernimmt die bäuerlichbürgerliche Gesellschaft von den Reformatoren, und wo ist sie originär, anders gewendet, gibt es eine eigene Reformation der einfachen Leute (2)? Schließlich - wie erklärt sich der Rezeptionsprozeß in der Gesellschaft (3)?

Gibt es individuelle Merkmale, die den erfolgreichen Unternehmer kennzeichnen, und wenn ja, welche sind es dann? Lassen sich diese Merkmale in irgendeinem wesentlichen Sinne generalisieren oder bleiben sie unlösbar an die jeweilige Person gebunden? Kann man Unternehmerschaft "lernen", oder gehört zu ihr eine Art Talent, das man haben muss? Setzt der Kapitalismus, zugespitzt gesagt, bestimmte Charaktere voraus, oder erzieht er sich das Personal, das er braucht? Die Beiträge des Bandes stellen erfolgreiche Unternehmer aus unterschiedlichen Branchen und aus unterschiedlichen Zeiten vor. Im Ergebnis ist Unternehmerschaft zumindest im Sinne Schumpeters als individuelles Merkmal zu begreifen, denn weder soziale Herkunft noch bestimmte andere, generalisierbare Merkmale lassen sich in einer Weise finden, die auf eine Art "Unternehmertypus" deutet. Es sind vielmehr individuelle Eigenschaften, die ausschlaggebend sind, auch wenn sie sich erst im Rahmen von Unternehmen entfalten können. mit Beiträgen von J. Bähr, Ch. Eifert, J. Finger, M.
