Recently read article written by The Economist’s Schumpeter columnist (click http://econ.st/1jpohIZ to read). The Schumpeterian view is dynamic and highlights the replicators vs. innovators argument. The article also makes mention of a paper that underscores how the number of self-made billionaires a country produces provides a much better measure of its entrepreneurial vigour than the number of small businesses.

A slightly heavy read for a Monday morning…Hopefully the picture (by Ashley Welton) makes it worth the while. Or, at the very least, puts a smile on your face. Happy Monday, all!
