Abstract: The purpose of this article is to show that from a history of economic thought perspective, the institutional hypothesis of asymmetry between entrepreneurs and employees, which implies that the employment level is determined by entrepreneurs alone, is particularly common. It would therefore constitute a standard, far from what orthodox economists and most economics textbooks suggest by presupposing that the level of employment would be jointly determined by supply and demand.
