By: John Tamny， RealClearPolitics — May 16th 2024 at 08:29
It's always amusing to hear about college students majoring in "entrepreneurialism," or better yet, individuals who express a plan to be an entrepreneur. That's because entrepreneurialism can't be taught, nor is it a planned-out career path. It's a state of mind. Real-life entrepreneurialism is an expression of a contrarian viewpoint about how business is being done that is revealed through action - action that is broadly rejected, including by the leading lights in the business sector the entrepreneur aims to disrupt.
