Revista ŒCONOMICA
From the pages penned by Richard Cantillon in the 18th century (Essay on
the Nature of Trade in General), to the refined reflections of Israel
M. Kirzner (Competition and Entrepreneurship) and the contemporary
analyses of Gerald O’Driscoll and Mario Rizzo (The Economics of Time and
Ignorance), these three volumes, recently translated into Romanian
under the auspices of the National Bank of Romania collection, follow a
common thread: the attempt to understand how people act and adapt in a
world of living economy, one of exchange and change. Cantillon sketches
for the first time the silhouette of the entrepreneur and the market
that shapes him; Kirzner highlights how competition transforms him into a
discoverer of opportunities; and O’Driscoll and Rizzo add the dimension
of time and uncertainty, where ignorance is not an obstacle, but the
engine of adaptation to the surrounding reality.
