Dawn Rivers Baker, the editor and publisher of The MicroEnterprise Journal, has joined her voice to my debate with Professor Shane in her blog The Journal Blogger.
Here is part of what she writes:
But there’s something else about Professor Shane’s position that bothers me — something I’ve said before in this blog.
It may be true that policy makers seek to create jobs and promote growth but it’s worth considering why policy makers do that. Isn’t the point of jobs and growth supposed to be their ability to allow people to achieve financially sustainable and comfortable lives so that they can live happily?
Is making people happy something to be sneered at?
A great point! Success for entrepreneurs is almost always so much more than the financial outcomes of the venture.
