Access to capital is certainly another part of the equation that would have to be solved to build an economy around entrepreneurship. Would it be so terrible to give people the option between starting a business after high school and going to college? Would you rather a bad student default on their student loans or a bad entrepreneur default on their business loans? Then again, the market may be providing a solution to this capital problem. Have you checked your mail lately? I get a letter everyday from a credit card company offering 12-24 months without interest. That's more than enough time to start a small business. It may be subsidized by the financially illiterate, but that's a whole 'nother can of worms.
