Abstract/Description:

That we accept the world as it is does not in any sense weaken our desire to change it into what we believe it should be – it is necessary to begin where the world is if we are going to change it to what we think it should be. That means working in the system. Saul D. Alinsky, Rules for Radicals (1989/1971, p. xix) For the United States to survive and continue its economic leadership in the world, we must see entrepreneurship as our central comparative advantage. Nothing else can give us the necessary leverage. Carl Schramm, President of the Kauffman Foundation, quoted in Start-Up Nation (Senor and Singer, 2009, p. 19) Money (That’s What I Want). Barrett Strong, 1959
