Abstract

Small new businesses have in recent years increasingly provided the bulk of new jobs, a trend that has accelerated during the recession. In fact, these businesses have replaced older established companies as the primary driving force behind the growth of the U.S. economy. Technological advances, capital availability, and demographic shifts have encouraged these new entrepreneurs to challenge conventional wisdom and to experiment with new approaches to the market. The author explains why the entrepreneurial economy is a cultural and psychological event as well as an economic and a technological one.
