we believe this to be true from 2 generations of my Scottish family having interviewed more entrepreneurs from 1950 than anyone else; my father trilogy of entrepreneurial revolution surveys in The Economist 1976 to 1984
http://www.normanmacrae.com/intrapreneur.html ; the origin of the terms entrepreneur and economics as coined by Scot Adam Smith or his alumni since the late 1700s. It is relevant with any construct that turns out to be very valuable to study to go back to its origin because most of these words have in recent years been turned top-down by vested interests
the origin of entrepreneur was rooted in the questions : as new industrial or other markets emerge which will compound wealth and health by connecting sustainability interests of societies, people who commit their lifetune learning and service to the industry and those who supply capital and other long-term investment? - many may assume this is what economics as mapping systems of productive and demanding relastionships is also intended to transparently track - indeed it was Adam Smith's motivation in the late 1700s; it was the motivation for Scot James Wilson to found The Economist in 1843 as well as to get rid of about 90% of MPs who by that time were representing the vested interests of the empires greediest including slavetraders and the those who passed the corn law monipoly which soon caused starvation of tens of thousands of Irish and a century latter terror waves between Ireland and Uk
so noticeably, the origin of entrepreneur was syetmic and integrated society whereas if I look in the 3rd grade book on social studies that my 9 year old daughter is expected to cram her brain with in the US catholic edu system as reigns today, the exact opposite definition of entrepreneur as risking his money to make more money is brainwashed
for this reasons americans networking around Bill Drayton coined the term socila entrepreneur circa 1978 and since that time Bill at
www.ashoka.org has invested in about 2000 develeoping country social entrepreneurs as well as inspired the recent networks of social entrepreneurs sponsored partly by the billionnaire Skoll (first president of ebay) on West Coast, partly by the conversion of the convenor of the world economic forum in Switzerland and elsewhere
It is worth noting that if you are not american, you can simply go back to the original word entrepreneur and draw up good and badwilled branches, of which social entrpreneur is one primary goodwilled branch
context is everything to all systemic entrepreneurs and it is worth having a crisis branch for every compass that could lose huiman sustainability- climate and learning are 2 of the 7 compasses that have concerned ny father and I most since out 1984 death of distance future history on : will networks sustain or end future generations
http://www.normanmacrae.com/netfuture.html http://futurehistorian.tvthe first london to world travel guide to learning entrepreneurs is being co-edited out of London by Sofia and on climate photosynthesis innpvations as the only way to integrate clean energy, water, soils, and air by Rick Nelson whose photosythesis open space will be available foir use on London 's South bank outside the National theatre from March for as long as popular demand merits. Given that the UK is committing 18 billion of HM treasury and Branson money to climate crisis, we true entrepreneur networkers may well hope that is unitil or beyond Londons olympics in 2012
I try and keep track of all the crisis and goodwill networks , a research projevct which took on new networking speed when I presented Deceneber 2004 a white paper entitled the coming war between goodwill and badwill networks to the annual congress of
www.globalreconciliationnetwork.org which a year earlier had convened its annual meeting at
http://www.collapsingworld.org where
www.eginitiative.org leader and former Irish preseident Mary Robinson was keynote speaker
happy to try and put anyone on the crisis entrepreneur map of most conern to them
