JOSÉ MARÍA O'KEAN Universidad Pablo de Olavide a RESUMENEste trabajo analiza la difusión de la teoría del empresario de Jean-Baptiste Say en España, como último eslabón de una línea de pensamiento que tiene su origen en Richard Cantillon. Se prueba que la particularidad de este autor es su gran difusión en el siglo XIX español -siendo uno de los más traducidos-y la escasa influencia de su teoría económica del empresario. Explicamos las razones de una paradoja que deja sin fundamentos teóricos a cualquier política económica destinada al desarrollo del tejido empresarial nacional. Son presentados los mecanismos de difusión, tanto directos, por medio de traducciones, como indirectos, por medio de autores españoles que pudieron difundir esta teoría de la función empresarial. Nos interesa conocer la recepción por parte de los autores españoles de la teoría del empresario de Say, determinar su grado de comprensión, de interpretación en relación con la realidad nacional, de revisión teórica, e incluso conocer si la fuente real de la idea a transmitir es el propio autor o alguna otra. * Damos las gracias por los constructivos comentarios recibidos en los diferentes escenarios en los que este trabajo de investigación ha sido expuesto en sus diferentes versiones, con especial referencia a Salvador Almenar, Antonio Miguel Bernal, Vicent Llombart, Manuel Santos, James Simpson y Carlos Usabiaga. Los comentarios de los tres evaluadores anónimos de esta Revista han contribuido a mejorar el trabajo, aunque cualquier error cometido es responsabilidad nuestra.a Carretera de Utrera, Km. ABSTRACTThis paper illustrates the spread of Jean-Baptiste Say's entrepreneur theory in Spain -a last contribution within the French tradition in which Richard Cantillon and A. R. J. Turgot were predecessors. We attempt to demonstrate that this is a special case, because, even though J. B. Say was the most important author from a publishing point of view, his economic theory of entrepreneurship had very little influence. The spread of economic ideas by way of translation and Spanish authors which employed J. B. Say's economic theory, give possible explanations to a paradox which had left economic policy without a theoretical reference. We analyse how Say's entrepreneur theory was received among Spanish authors in the 19 th century, its degree of comprehension and the analytical additions made, and attempt to identify the real source of transmission.
This paper transcribes and annotates five unpublished letters that Manuel María Gutiérrez, Álvaro Flórez Estrada and the Marquis of Valle Santoro respectively sent to Jean-Baptiste Say. An initial hypothesis holds the importance of this correspondence in order to argue the connection of the Spanish authors with the canonical works. We focus on several questions related to the transmission of economic ideas. First, the translation of Say’s work is a collective project structured around the Real Sociedad Económica de Amigos del País de Madrid. Secondly, we explain how the translator expurgates the condemnable passages in order to publish Say’s Traité d`économie politique in Spanish, those connected to the influence of religion on economic development and public education to be exact.

This work analyses the particular and repeated attempt to introduce the entrepreneur into economic activity through the market for entrepreneurs. We shall examine the few suggestions-Richard Cantillon, Jean-Baptiste Say, Alfred Marshall and Frank Knightthat propose it. The analysis of the writings of these authors enables us to draw relevant conclusions from their attempts to develop an economic theory of the entrepreneur from the perspective of the market for entrepreneurs.
