Schumpeter Night Fever: Tony Manero and the Conception of the Entrepreneurial Society
Abstract:The idea that the United States is—and should be—an "entrepreneurial society" is now a popular notion. Entrepreneurs have become celebrities and many celebrities become entrepreneurs. It is easy to connect the political, economic, and social disruptions to the election of Ronald Reagan in 1980, but changes of this magnitude are the offspring of many parents. This paper highlights someone who has gone unnoticed: Tony Manero, the white-suited dancer brought to life by John Travolta in the film Saturday Night Fever (1977). SNF is famous for its white working-class decadence and disco dancing, but re-watching the film today, one is struck by Tony's entrepreneurial personality. A Schumpeterian analysis shows the protagonist as a proto-entrepreneur and the film as an early endorsement of the promise of entrepreneurship.
