“…Similar to the Polish context (see Marsh & Thomas, 2017), entrepreneurial activities and identities are also strongly articulated in the Czech political discourse. In the last decade, the Czech political discourse has been marked by the hegemony of entrepreneurial populism (Naxera & Stulík, 2021).…”

“…These constructions can vary in different economic, political, and social contexts. For example, using a Polish case, Marsh and Thomas (2017) describe entrepreneurial discourse as a cornerstone of the Polish transition from communism to the neoliberal free market. Different discursive constructions imply distinct social positions.…”

“…In this article, we are interested in how the changes in the role of entrepreneurship and self-employment described in the literature (Calás et al, 2009;Marsh & Thomas, 2017) have been reflected in the Czech policy discourse. Research questions guiding this article are as follows: What discursive constructions of entrepreneurship can be found in the Czech policy discourse?…”

The Power of the Powerless: Constructions of Self‐Employment in Czechia

This article examines the construction of self‐employment in public policy debates, focusing on how political actors define self‐employment and on the moral implications of these categorisations. Employing critical discourse analysis and the social construction of a target population, the authors examine verbatim transcripts of parliamentary debates in the Czech parliament between 2021 and 2023. These debates reveal how legislators perceive the value of self‐employment as a part of the economy. The study explores the underpinnings of such public policy debates, as well as the moral consequences of categorising self‐employment. We argue that by foregrounding some morally loaded argumentations and, in particular, discursive constructions, politicians (as both discursive and policy actors) make some parts of the experience of self‐employment invisible and neglected by policy; as a result, this contributes to the precarity of the self‐employed.

“…Altogether, this expansion of entrepreneurship discourses is aligned with solutions for coming to grips with the shortcomings of “conventional” understandings of entrepreneurship for its economic and psychological roots and excluding tendencies. Building on efforts to alter entrepreneurial discourses, it is recognized that they are entangled with a capitalist ideology, and surely do not offer “solutions” to its crises (Costa and Saraiva, 2012; Marsh and Thomas, 2017), but may rather work as “prophylactic action”, which co-opts everything from politics to activism and turns it into an economization of life (Vrasti, 2009).…”

Purpose Following the example of the critical management education tradition, the purpose of this paper is to argue whether we should keep EE vital by disturbing it, in particular by interrogating that which has seemingly become “untouchable” from interrogation. Design/methodology/approach This paper takes inspiration from Paolo Freire’s work by proposing a pedagogical approach to entrepreneurship education which builds on an iterative and interactive process, oscillating between deconstructing and reconstructing entrepreneurship, creating space for invention in the classroom. The paper provides exemplary contributions in developing suggestions as to ways forward. Findings The ways forward being proposed in this paper include entrepreneurship educators engaging students as co-learners, and evoking their curiosity to pose new questions about the phenomenon; “grounding” students in their own creativity and supporting them to build the confidence needed to develop alternative understandings of how entrepreneurship can function – for themselves, in their future organizations and for society as a whole; and challenging our own teaching positions, and adopting a pedagogical process of invention, stimulating curiosity, co-creation, thought-provoking questions and entrepreneurial action. Originality/value This paper provides ways forward in keeping EE “fresh”, by sketching how we need to teach about entrepreneurship, adopting the critical insights emerging in the field. The paper argues how we do not only need other models and approaches to understand entrepreneurship, but also to understand learning and education.

“…First, Poland is best known for its economic success in the institutional transition from a command economy to a free-market system and then towards intensive Europeanisation. The reforms mobilized thousands of households to establish business ventures which enhanced the ability of the economy to generate jobs and alleviate poverty (Paci et al 2004;Marsh and Thomas 2017;Korosteleva and Stępie ń-Baig 2020). The COVID-19 outbreak threatens poverty-reducing growth in Poland where a substantial number of jobs are related to self-employment.…”

Recent studies uncover the lack of symmetry in COVID-19-related economic shock distributions among households. Thus, questions arise about the appropriateness of diverse risk-coping mechanisms by households. We add to this strand of research by focusing on households running a business. In particular, we analyze the role of basic legal aspects of running a business by individuals, specifically a legal form of business activity in shaping COVID-19-related business risk perception. We posit that the different legal forms allow for different risk-coping mechanisms. We incorporate analysis of variance (ANOVA) on data obtained via a survey distributed among households running a business in Poland, a country where the pandemic threatens poverty-reducing growth. We confirm that between the groups of households running a business in various legal forms, there are statistically significant differences regarding the impact of COVID-19. Thus, we conclude that the choice of business legal form affects vulnerability to COVID-19-related interruptions among households running a business.
