Extract

The task of discussing sociological changes in the field of European enterpreneurship is not an easy one, mainly because of the scarcity of historical data of the earliest period and the fact that there has been comparatively little individual biographical research relating to that period. These changes can perhaps best be illustrated by attempting to define the individual typifying the entrepreneur in each of the three economic periods that Sombart has designated as early, middle or mature, and late capitalism.
