Tomado de la solapa: "How one evaluates capitalism depends on how one believes it works. Here Israel M. Kirzner offers a view of the capitalist process that differs significantly from the most widely received visions of it. Drawing from the Austrian tradition that has enjoyed a recent revival among economists, these papers see capitalism not as a set of activities and prices continuously reflecting patterns of supply and demand, but as an ongoing process of creative discovery. Together the essays distill Kirzner's thoughts on the entrepreneurial role in economics since publication of his Perception, Opportunity, and Profit in 1979. Kizner contrast his view with two others that have a prominent place in the literature, the neoclassical theory, in which the entrepreneur is accorded no creativity at all, and the originative view that sees the entrepreneur as wholly unconstrained by the conditions of the market. Kirzner defines the entrepreneur as someone alert to changing conditions or overlooked possibilities, a definition that allows him the best of both the neoclassical and the originative worlds. He rejects the thesis that attributing genuine novelty to the entrepreneur requires economists to treat entrepreneurship as not related to market events in any systematic way. The entrepreneur acts creatively, according to Kirzner, by discovering opportunities mapped out by market conditions". --
