A study by Henry Beale published and funded by the SBA Department of Advocacy reports that the IRS and local zoning laws create major headaches and hurdles for home-based businesses (thanks to the National Dialogue on Entrepreneurship for featuring this study).
Like other studies on small business, this research clearly shows that these birthing grounds of entrepreneurial activity suffer from a disproportionate share of government intervention and regulation when compared to larger corporations. Why is this important? Just keep in mind the number of highly successful ventures that started in people?s kitchens, garages, basements and bedrooms. While less than 10% of businesses operated out of the home have employees, many of these will create jobs and economic growth as they leave the bootstrapping environment of a home business and move out into the marketplace. Our entrepreneurial recovery needs job creation and new business formation. And home-based businesses have a long history of spawning successful ventures. Once again, let me state that the evidence from all over the world supports the premise that the best role for government in entrepreneurial development is to provide access to education about the process, and then get out of the way!

Arguing on both theoretical and empirical grounds that the most effective way to promote economic growth is to establish a wall of separation between government and the economy, David Osterfeld presents an alternative development model that is diametrically opposed to the prevalent interventionist paradigm. Emphasizing the importance of the market as an indispensable vehicle for growth, he extends the concept of privatization to the Third World and proposes that many commonly held views regarding food production, resource availability and population growth are actually alarmist myths flatly contradicted by the data. Focusing on issues of critical relevance to Third World development, including foreign aid, the role of multinational corporations and foreign investment, migration, the impact of political corruption and a host of other issues, this important and iconoclastic work will be vital reading for anyone concerned about the development of the Third World.
