Abstract

A survey of the theory of entrepreneurship from Cantillon to Schumpeter and Knight focussing on the virtual dissapearance of entrepreneurship in economic thought after 1870. Since then the concept has made a comeback in the writings of modern Austrians, such as Hayek and Kirzner. Kirzner's arbitrage-theory of entrepreneurship is contrasted with the non-Austrian theory of entrepreneurship in "new" institutionalist theory of the firm.
