Entrepreneurs in Canada! - Who Knew? - Paperback

by Harvey Miller (Author), Landen Norris (Illustrator)

The book assesses approximately 50 Canadians from the perspective of whether they should be considered entrepreneurs within the context of Joseph Schumpeter's 5 definitions of entrepreneurial activity. These assessments are set against the background of 6 time segments that briefly describe and define Canadian economic history from the European invasion to current day.

The book adopts an unabashedly free market capitalist approach. That is, wealth creation is a good and necessary activity in an economy that fuels growth making better conditions for its citizenry. Entrepreneurs are the generators of wealth creation and that Canada's economic development has been led by entrepreneurs.

The benefit to readers will be the revelation of Canada's rich entrepreneurial heritage.
