Perkins is professor of history at the University of Southern California. The Entrepreneurial Spirit in Colonial America: The Foundations of Modern Business History [Elektronische Daten] [Edwin J. Perkins] This wide-ranging discussion of the extent of entrepreneurship in colonial America surveys the recent historiography of the field and offers a reconceptualization. The article advances the view that a society "with pervasive entrepreneurial values” existed from the first years of English settlement in North America, and it examines the activities and goals of the primary occupational groups to demonstrate that thesis.
