do entrepreneurs serve as pawns for economic development?
johnnybgoode: You can think of an "entrepreneur" as someone who has chosen to take higher risk for the potential of a greater reward. People should of course be free to choose a lower risk pursuit, but the potential reward is also lower.You're saying many entrepreneurs fail and that this sucks. But your post kind of assumes that who is an entrepreneur is predetermined. Instead, as I said, people should be free to choose the amount of risk they're willing to take, and yes, many of the people who choose to take big risks will fail. That's how it's supposed to work.Also, obviously each person doesn't have to make this choice once for their entire life. They can fail and try something else.
