Robust historical study of the entrepreneurial 'projector' in early modern England, and the part this widely stigmatised figure played in taming the excesses of incipient, early modern capitalism. As a book-length academic history text, the depth of evidence and level of detail was greater than my requirements, but it's well-written, with the early and concluding chapters did a good job of sketching a particular historical trajectory. I particularly appreciated the work Yamamoto does in connecting his arguments to contemporary debates about corporate social responsibility, innovation, and extractivist or rentier capitalism.
