The Invention of Enterprise gathers together, for the first time, leading economic historians to explore the entrepreneur's role in society from antiquity to the present. Addressing social and institutional influences from a historical context, each chapter examines entrepreneurship during a particular period and in an important geographic location. The book chronicles the sweeping history of enterprise in Mesopotamia and Neo-Babylon; carries the reader through the Islamic Middle East; offers insights into the entrepreneurial history of China, Japan, and Colonial India; and describes the crucial role of the entrepreneur in innovative activity in Europe and the United States, from the medieval period to today. In considering the critical contributions of entrepreneurship, the authors discuss why entrepreneurial activities are not always productive and may even sabotage prosperity. They examine the institutions and restrictions that have enabled or impeded innovation, and the incentives for the adoption and dissemination of inventions. They also describe the wide variations in global entrepreneurial activity during different historical periods and the similarities in development, as well as entrepreneurship's role in economic growth. The book is filled with past examples and events that provide lessons for promoting and successfully pursuing contemporary entrepreneurship as a means of contributing to the welfare of society. The Invention of Enterprise lays out a definitive picture for all who seek an understanding of innovation's central place in our world. 410 0$aKauffman Foundation series on innovation and entrepreneurship. 606 $aEntrepreneurship$xHistory 606 $aCommerce 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aEntrepreneurship$xHistory. 615 0$aCommerce. 676 $a338.0409 676 $a338/.0409 701 $aLandes$b David S$0437839 701 $aMokyr$b Joel$0129193 701 $aBaumol$b William J$0268191 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910459163203321 996 $aThe invention of enterprise$92445651 997 $aUNINA LEADER 03841nam 22006011 450 001 9910796356003321 005 20171024081222.0 010 $a1-4742-2617-5 010 $a1-4742-2615-9 024 7 $a10.5040/9781474226172 035 $a(CKB)3790000000545558 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC5114414 035 $a(OCoLC)1007823634 035 $a(UtOrBLW)bpp09261370 035 $a(EXLCZ)993790000000545558 100 $a20171115d2018 uy 0 101 0 $aeng 135 $aurcnu|||||||| 181 $ctxt$2rdacontent 182 $cc$2rdamedia 183 $acr$2rdacarrier 200 14$aThe image of the soldier in German culture, 1871-1933 /$fPaul Fox 210 1$aLondon ;$aNew York :$cBloomsbury Academic,$d2018. 215 $a1 online resource (241 pages) 225 0 $aA modern history of politics and violence 311 $a1-350-11894-X 311 $a1-4742-2614-0 320 $aIncludes bibliographical references and index. 327 $aRepresenting armed conflict in the industrial age -- Adolph Menzel and the rhetoric of command -- Combat and the politics of border landscapes : soldier-farmers -- Combat and the politics of landscape : trench warfare -- Combat and the politics of landscape : aerial photography, maps, and the cold gaze -- Technology and combat in the Franco-Prussian war -- Technology and combat in the First World War -- Conclusion. 330 $a"This study examines the force of tradition in conservative German visual culture. It explores thematic continuities in the post-conflict representation of battlefield identities, from the 25th anniversary of the Franco-Prussian War in 1895 to the demise of the Weimar Republic in 1933. Using 40 carefully chosen images from both high and low culture, Paul Fox discusses complex and interdependent responses in German visual culture to a wide spectrum of operational military experience. These include regional conflict, total war, internal security operations and border skirmishes during the period. The book demonstrates how conservative artists, illustrators, photographers, and sculptors engaged in representing this full spectrum of conflict were preoccupied with the inequalities of battlefield encounters and the consequential quest for moral advantage. They furnished material that exemplified everything positive the ideal German male could hope to be when at war - even when the outcome was defeat. Their construction of an imagined martial masculinity based on an aggressive moral superiority was so deeply rooted that the continuities taken forward eventually provided a basis for a programmatic imagining of how Germany might again exert its political presence as a great military power in Central Europe after 1918. The Image of the Soldier in German Culture, 1871--1933 is an important volume for any historian interested in cultural history, the history of modern Germany or the First World War."--Provided by publisher. 410 0$aModern history of politics and violence. 606 $aFranco-Prussian War, 1870-1871$vArt and the war 606 $aMasculinity in art 606 $aMilitarism$zGermany 606 $aSoldiers in art 606 $aSoldiers$zGermany$xHistory 606 $aWorld War, 1914-1918$vArt and the war 606 $2European history 607 $aGermany$xHistory, Military$xHistoriography 615 0$aFranco-Prussian War, 1870-1871 615 0$aMasculinity in art. 615 0$aMilitarism 615 0$aSoldiers in art. 615 0$aSoldiers$xHistory. 615 0$aWorld War, 1914-1918 676 $a704.9/4994308 700 $aFox$b Paul$c(Art historian)$01581668 801 0$bUtOrBLW 801 1$bUtOrBLW 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910796356003321 996 $aThe image of the soldier in German culture, 1871-1933$93863386 997 $aUNINA
