【 摘 要 】
Social entrepreneurship has attracted much attention from celebrities, scholars, policymakers, and wealthy foundations. Yet little is known about this form of entrepreneurship beyond what is said in mission statements, autobiographies, and heroic narratives of social entrepreneurs. This paper contributes to this literature by dis-cussing a feature of social entrepreneurship largely neglected by researchers: competition. Drawing on an ethnographic analysis inspired by Bourdieu, I argue that social entrepreneurs may not only compete for funds but also for legitimacy derived from resources such as personal recognition and economic capital.
