This book seeks to formulate a coherent and consistent approach in the study of the entrepreneur. Providing a critical review of the literature in entrepreneurship emanating from economics and other social sciences this text traces the evolution of theoretical constructs in entrepreneurial studies from the early contributions of Cantillon and Say to the early 21st century. The examination of the institutionalist approach formulated in the book concentrates upon the identification of some general principles that can be combined with data regarding specific historical contexts.
