The figure of the innovative entrepreneur is of primary importance in understanding capitalist dynamics. However, in the history of political economy, the notion of innovation has not always been associated with the concept of the entrepreneur. This presentation aims to contribute to the history of the concepts of entrepreneur and innovation by showing how, in the last third of the 19th century, among German-speaking thinkers (Heinrich von Thünen, Werner Sombart, Max Weber, Joseph Schumpeter), entrepreneur and innovation were linked in a way that contradicted the dominant conceptualization of the entrepreneur in the second half of the 18th century among French-speaking thinkers (R. Cantillon, J.-B. Say, A. R. J. Turgot).
