Entrepreneurship has been cool for a while now - and is now a part of the establishment - all the major universities have jumped on the entrepreneurship bandwagon, and governments avidly promote their support for entrepreneurs. So becoming an entrepreneur can now be a socially validated choice. But is this a good thing? Historically, entrepreneurs have come from the disenfranchised - religious nonconformists, immigrant communities - people who are forced to find another way of making money because they could not get on using traditional social paths. They can change the world because they have always seen it partly from the forced perspective of an outsider.
