| Zusammenfassung: | A Brief History of Entrepreneurship charts how the pursuit of profit by private individuals has been a prime mover in revolutionizing civilization. Entrepreneurs often butt up against processes, technologies, social conventions, and even laws. So they circumvent, innovate, and violate to obtain what they want. This creative destruction has brought about overland and overseas trade, colonization, and a host of revolutionary technologies—from caffeinated beverages to the personal computer—that have transformed society.Consulting rich archival sources, including some that have never before been translated, Carlen maps the course of human history through nine episodes when entrepreneurship reshaped our world. Highlighting the most colorful characters of each era, he discusses Mesopotamian merchants' creation of the urban market economy; Phoenician merchant-sailors intercontinental trade, which came to connect Africa, Asia, and Europe; Chinese tea traders' invention of paper money; the colonization of the Americas; and the current "flattening" of the world's economic playing field. Yet the pursuit of profit hasn't always moved us forward. From slavery to organized crime, Carlen explores how entrepreneurship can sometimes work at the expense of others. He also discusses the new entrepreneurs who, through the nascent space tourism industry, are leading humanity to a multiplanetary future. By exploring all sides of this legacy, Carlen brings much-needed detail to the role of entrepreneurship in revolutionizing civilization |

Verfasser (DE-588)1136337350 aut A brief history of entrepreneurship the pioneers, profiteers, and racketeers who shaped our world Joe Carlen New York Columbia University Press [2016] © 2016 1 Online-Ressource (vi, 243 Seiten) Illustrationen txt rdacontent c rdamedia cr rdacarrier Columbia Business School Publishing Description based on online resource; title from PDF title page A Brief History of Entrepreneurship charts how the pursuit of profit by private individuals has been a prime mover in revolutionizing civilization. Entrepreneurs often butt up against processes, technologies, social conventions, and even laws. So they circumvent, innovate, and violate to obtain what they want. This creative destruction has brought about overland and overseas trade, colonization, and a host of revolutionary technologies—from caffeinated beverages to the personal computer—that have transformed society.Consulting rich archival sources, including some that have never before been translated, Carlen maps the course of human history through nine episodes when entrepreneurship reshaped our world. Highlighting the most colorful characters of each era, he discusses Mesopotamian merchants' creation of the urban market economy; Phoenician merchant-sailors intercontinental trade, which came to connect Africa, Asia, and Europe; Chinese tea traders' invention of paper money; the colonization of the Americas; and the current "flattening" of the world's economic playing field. Yet the pursuit of profit hasn't always moved us forward. From slavery to organized crime, Carlen explores how entrepreneurship can sometimes work at the expense of others. He also discusses the new entrepreneurs who, through the nascent space tourism industry, are leading humanity to a multiplanetary future. By exploring all sides of this legacy, Carlen brings much-needed detail to the role of entrepreneurship in revolutionizing civilization Geschichte gnd rswk-swf Geschichte Businesspeople History Commerce History Entrepreneurship History Entrepreneurship (DE-588)7588126-3 gnd rswk-swf Entwicklung (DE-588)4113450-3 gnd rswk-swf Gesellschaft (DE-588)4020588-5 gnd rswk-swf Entrepreneurship (DE-588)7588126-3 s Gesellschaft (DE-588)4020588-5 s Entwicklung (DE-588)4113450-3 s Geschichte z b DE-604 Erscheint auch als Druck-Ausgabe 978-0-231-17304-9 (DE-604)BV044013134 https://doi.org/10.7312/carl17304 Verlag URL des Erstveröffentlichers Volltext |
