Synopsis

In this book, the historical importance of innovative entre preneurs as agents of change who indirectly contribute to a more humane world by enhancing access to basic human rights is illustrated. However, entre preneurial rights tend to be neglected in economic and legal theory as well as in the global debate on human rights. Philipp Aerni argues that this neglect has its roots in the implicit assumption that entrepreneurs must surely know how to help themselves and therefore do not require special attention from a human rights perspective. The fact is, however, that those most vulnerable to human rights offences, especially in the developing world, are those who have failed to obtain formal employment and are therefore self-employed by default.
