Synopsis

In this book, the historical importance of innovativeentrepreneurs as agents of change who indirectly contribute to a morehumane world by enhancing access to basic human rights is illustrated.However, entrepreneurial rights tend to be neglected in economic andlegal theory as well as in the global debate on human rights. PhilippAerni argues that this neglect has its roots in the implicit assumptionthat entrepreneurs must surely know how to help themselves and therefore do not require special attention from a human rights perspective. Thefact is, however, that those most vulnerable to human rights offences,especially in the developing world, are those who have failed to obtainformal employment and are therefore self-employed by default.
