Rezensionen

"Are you looking for a concise yet comprehensive introductory book on Entrepreneurship which skillfully adorns theoretical foundations with cutting-edge empirical cases? Look no further." -- Nikolay Domashev in the Journal of Business Anthropology

"For an outsider to anthropology the book provided an engaging and swift tour of the strange history of entrepreneurship studies in anthropology." -- Philip Roscoe, author of Creating Economy (Oxford UP) and A Richer Life (Penguin)

"The book's discussion of the history of entrepreneurship in anthropology is excellent." -- Joost Beuving in the Journal of the European Association of Social Anthropologists

"From Barth's actor perspective and Geertz's cultural history to Pfeilstetter's term "entrepreneurialization" [...] Pfeilstetter not only points to new empirical areas, but also to "a theoretical project reinterpreting structural conditions as agentive interventions"." -- Leif Manger in the Norwegian Journal of Anthropology
