This book links entrepreneurship to business history, identifying the institutions which encourage entrepreneurship and emphasising the importance of small and big businesses, from the medieval period to modernity. Covering the period c.1200-c.2000, this book examines entrepreneurship in a long-run historical perspective, investigating the characteristics of successful entrepreneurs and identifying the conditions which encourage entrepreneurship. The multiple case studies, spanning many sectors, highlight the achievements of a range of individuals, including media moguls, female investors and Quaker chocolate manufacturers. The entrepreneurial activities discussed include property speculation, which has been conducted throughout history by medieval monks as well as Victorian master builders." -- Publisher's description. 000535196 588__ $$aDescription based on print version record. 000535196 650_0 $$aEntrepreneurship$$xHistory. 000535196 650_0 $$aCapitalists and financiers$$xHistory. 000535196 7001_ $$aCasson, Catherine. 000535196 77608 $$iPrint version:$$aCasson, Mark.$$tEntrepreneur in history.$$dBasingstoke, Hampshire, UK ; New York : Palgrave Macmillan, 2013$$z9781137305817$$w(DLC) 2013478053$$w(OCoLC)841892730 000535196 830_0 $$aPalgrave pivot. 000535196 8520_ $$bacq 000535196 85280 $$bebk$$hEbrary 000535196 85640 $$3ProQuest Ebook Central$$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=https://ebookcentral.proquest.com/lib/usiricelib-ebooks/detail.action?docID=1209436$$zOnline Access 000535196 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:535196$$pGLOBAL_SET 000535196 980__ $$aEBOOK 000535196 980__ $$aBIB 000535196 982__ $$aEbook 000535196 983__ $$aOnline
