The Entrepreneur by Thorbjorn Knudsen

This book is the first to contain all of Schumpeter's important texts on the entrepreneur and entrepreneurship in English.
"This compilation has many works translated into English for the first time, granting a more complete understanding of [Schumpeter's] theories of economicsThe editors add their own notes on the work, granting a comprehensive analysis to tie the work together as a whole. The Entrepreneur is a must for any student of economics, be they scholarly or non-specialist general reader, and is a core addition to community and college business library collections."—Midwest Book Review
"Knudsen, Becker, and Swedberg have done a magnificent job of translation and interpretation."—Richard N. Langlois, University of Connecticut
"Anyone who wishes to know what Schumpeter, that undisputed father of extensive entrepreneurship theory, really thought and really understood must turn to this illuminating volume."—William J. Baumol, New York University and Princeton University
"I am delighted to see, at long last, these original essays by Schumpeter available in English. Although these won't definitively settle the question of 'what Schumpeter really meant,' they do show the subtlety of his thinking with regard to the role of entrepreneurs in capitalist society. Many scholars will be surprised!"—Howard Aldrich, Kenan Professor of Sociology, University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill
"Schumpeter's view of what modern capitalism is all about and how it works is compelling. Long ignored by much of the economics profession it now is beginning to get the attention it deserves. This book will help further this much needed development."—Richard R. Nelson, Columbia University
