2. L’entrepreneuriat, une histoire française

Michel Marchesnay

Regards croisés sur l'économie, 2016, vol. n° 19, issue 2, 25-36

Abstract: Three historical figures have strongly influenced the creation and the development of the entrepreneur image in France between the sixteenth and the eighteenth centuries. The first one is Richard Cantillon, who exemplifies the ?adventurer entrepreneur?, taking risks to succeed and receiving ?uncertain wages?. The second one is Jean-Baptiste Say, depicting a more liberal, theoretical, and innovative vision of the entrepreneur, who has to produce not only for a few but also for many others. Finally, Jean-Antoine Chaptal represents the beginning of the ?Noblesse d?État? (?State Nobility?) Pierre Bourdieu will later describe.
