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. 410 0$aFoundations of the market economy series. 606 $aEntrepreneurship 615 0$aEntrepreneurship. 676 $a338/.04 700 $aHarper$b David A.$042291 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910800055503321 996 $aEntrepreneurship and the market process$9626086 997 $aUNINA
