Do espírito do capitalismo ao espírito empreendedor: a consolidação das ideias acerca da prática empreendedora numa abordagem histórico-materialista

Abstract

This essay investigates the displacement of the capitalist spirit to the ideology of entrepreneurship through a historical-materialist approach, aiming to apprehend reality from its ontogenetic contradictions and in its social development. This is a theoretical essay beginning from the gap in “critical approaches to entrepreneurship”, contributing to deepen criticism of entrepreneurial practice, situating it before the stage of development of the productive forces in its historical path, and not only limited to capitalist realism that delimits human action by individualist, competitive, or even liberal acting. We emphasize that the spirit of capitalism corresponds to the movement of capital expansion while entrepreneurship is the ideological version of that spirit today, needing a system of ideas that puts it in motion, given its effectiveness as a means for subordination and impoverishment.
