Knight considers the entrepreneur as unique productive factor; he settles down a clear distinction between risk and uncertainty and by means of them explains the benefit perceived. The entrepreneur is conceived by Knight, as a dynamic and innovating agent of development. Knight explains that the entrepreneur's benefit comes from his ability to manage uncertainty.
