'Entrepreneurship' is a popular term in modern society, used by businesses hoping to encourage innovation among their employees, politicians aiming to raise national productivity, and academic researchers trying to understand economic growth. This book contains a sample of the biographies of those who energized economic life in the northern part of the continent over four centuries. The book showcases the fine work of the contributors and editorial staff of the Dictionary of Canadian biography, one of the most valuable and accessible repositories of Canada's past where readers may learn more about the enterprising figures who have animated Canadian business. Included in this texts are short biographies of several notable Atlantic Canadians, including Samuel Cunard, Gilbert White Ganong, Benjamin Bowring and James William Carmichael, along with dozens of other prominent entrepreneurs from all regions of Canada.
