Something I found very intriguing was the history of the entrepreneur. In the 18th century in France Cantillon associated the risk taking activity in the economy to entrepreneurs. This time period was mainly during the Industrial Revolution.
One of the things I found confusing was Myth 3. He says that entrepreneurs aren't always inventors and used the McDonald's example. Yes he didn't invent fast food but he did invent a process because of those ideas so they may not invent a product but you still have to invent services as well.
Where did all those schools of though come from and get developed? Some seem like common sense but others there isn't enough background given for me personally.
My second question after this chapter would be, where do you see entrepreneurship shifting to in the next 5-10 years? Similar to how it is very tech heavy currently.
I personally don't really disagree with anything in this particular chapter because a lot of the chapter is theory and I don't know enough about those theories to rebut.
