Entrepreneurship, Industrial Organization, and Economic Growth: A German Example*

William N. Parker

The Journal of Economic History, 1954, vol. 14, issue 4, 380-400

Abstract: The following bit of research has two purposes, one general and one specific. Its general purpose is to suggest how the three elements in its title arc linked together, and in doing this to connect more closely the work of historians, which has focused on entrepreneurship, with that of economists, which has centered around economic growth as measured in statistical aggregates. The specific purpose is to show how the organization of the German coal-mining industry in fact constituted one such connection between the economic activity of individuals and the industrial development of a nation.
