Abstract

Italian Abstract: L’articolo persegue un duplice obiettivo: 1) far luce su un aspetto ignoto del pensiero einaudiano: l’esistenza di un paradigma 'narrative' dell’imprenditore; 2) mostrare come e perché tale paradigma: a) è da ricondursi nell’alveo della più ampia riflessione di Einaudi sul buongoverno e la società aperta, b) si staglia all’interno di una feconda tensione tra prudenza e rischio-innovazione, entrambi possibili solo in un contesto istituzionale di tipo liberale. L’imprenditorialità e, in generale, le iniziative aperte al rischio assurgono così a figura di libertà. English Abstract: The article has two objectives: 1) to shed light on an unknown aspect of Einaudi's thought: the existence of a 'narrative' paradigm of entrepreneur; 2) show how and why this paradigm: a) must be placed in the context of the broader reflection of Einaudi on good government and open society, b) stands in a fruitful tension between prudence and risk-innovation, both possible only in an institutional-liberal framework. Therefore, entrepreneurship and, in general, initiatives that are open to risk become a figure of freedom.
