Hoselitz Bleg

Can anyone point me to biographical or bibliographical resources on Bert F. Hoselitz? He is known to Austrian economists as the translator (with James Dingwall) of Menger’s Principles of Economics, but he was also an accomplished Chicago development economist who founded the journal Economic Development and Cultural Change. He was trained in Vienna (according to this brief note) but did not apparently have much contact with the Austrian school. I’m particularly interested in Hoselitz’s contributions to entrepreneurship theory.

Peter,
Begin your exploration with “The early History of Entrepreneurial History”, first published in the hard-to-find Explorations in Entrepreneurial History Vol 3 (1951) and reprinted in Spengler and Allen’s Essays in Economic Thought: Aristotle to Marshall , Rand McNally 1960.
His polyglot abilities make this a splendid read.
I have been trying to find the UN paper, “The Entrepreneurial Element of Economic Development”, but no luck over the past year.

Wonderful, thanks. If anyone out there has a copy of the UN paper I’d be happy to host a PDF copy on our site.
