> My only gripe is that he thinks that entrepreneurship and investment are struggling. Entrepreneurship is extremely hyped right now, despite being at a relative low historically (Figure 1 of [1]). More companies are failing in their first year (Figure 4, 5, D1, D3 of [2]) and an increasing percentage of employment is at firms 16+ years old (Figure 2, A2, C2 of [2]). Less people starting companies, more companies failing in the first year, more people employed at well-established companies. That sounds like entrepreneurship is struggling to me.
