“A merchant banker.  A failing dairy farmer.  A refugee from Communist China.  One risked his savings.  One risked his farm.  One risked his life.”

Why do their stories matter? Because how we view entrepreneurs—as greedy or altruistic, as virtuous or vicious—shapes the destinies of individuals and nations.
