Entrepreneurship: productive, unproductive, and destructive

Article Abstract:

Entrepreneurial activities may either be productive or parasitical. The allocation by entrepreneurs into these two activities depends on how much the society is willing to pay off for such activities. The laws and incentive schemes determine whether entrepreneurs choose to be productive or parasitical. Historical evidence from Rome, early China, the Middle Ages and Renaissance in Europe is gathered to test the hypothesis.
