“…The launch of Entrepreneurial Society 1.0 could be dated to around the American Revolution, with independent business ownership serving not only as a form of economic and social activity but, more fundamentally, as a quality of the political independence of republican citizens capable of selfgovernment (McCoy, 2012). Both the practical business ideas and political virtues of Version 1.0 were reflected in the startup advice of an entrepreneurship influencer named Ben Franklin, whose global social media reach made contemporary entrepreneurial personalities like Elon Musk and Gary Vee (Veynerchuck) look like friendless loners (Reinert, 2015).…”

A rapidly growing research stream examines the social effects of entrepreneurship on society. This research assesses the rise of entrepreneurship as a dominant theme in society and studies how entrepreneurship contributes to the production and acceptance of socio-economic inequality regimes, social problems, class and power struggles, and systemic inequities. In this article, scholars present new perspectives on an organizational sociology-inspired research agenda of entrepreneurial capitalism and detail the potential remedies to bound the unfettered expansion of a narrow conception of entrepreneurship. Taken together, the essays put forward four central provocations: 1) reform the study and pedagogy of entrepreneurship by bringing in the humanities; 2) examine entrepreneurship as a cultural phenomenon shaping society; 3) go beyond the dominant biases in entrepreneurship research and pedagogy; and 4) explore alternative models to entrepreneurial capitalism. More scholarly work scrutinizing the entrepreneurship–society nexus is urgently needed, and these essays provide generative arguments toward further developing this research agenda.
