Chapter 1 in The Entrepreneur in History: From Medieval Merchant to Modern Business Leader, 2013, pp 1-11 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract Entrepreneurship is of contemporary interest. The self-employed entrepreneur is an aspirational figure and one that many students in particular wish to emulate. Despite this, there is still relatively little study of entrepreneurship in the era before the rise of the modern corporation. The introduction explains how the book is grounded on two principles. Firstly, that the theory of entrepreneurship needs to be presented in a rigorous fashion which explains why it is valuable to the economy. Secondly, that the study of entrepreneurship needs to be examined over a long historical perspective. The introduction then outlines the methodology used in the rest of the book.
