This book redresses this by systematically applying the ideas of Karl Popper. It treats the entrepeneur as a theorist who develops conjectures which are then tested by exposure to the market, in an effort to eliminate errors. This is a critical aspect of the development of new ventures, as most entrepeneurial ideas turn out to be mistakes, at least in their original form.Foundations of the market economy series.EntrepreneurshipElectronic books.Entrepreneurship.338/.04Harper David A.42291MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910450200403321Entrepreneurship and the market process626086UNINA
