The phenomenon is most clearly evident in countries (most poor) plagued by corruption and public sector mismanagement, but it is also a fundamental feature of democratic, economically advanced countries. Joseph Schumpeter articulated this fundamental paradox of capitalist economic advancement: Growth driven by entrepreneial opportunity contains the seeds of its own undoing. Where the bumper sticker version of Schumpeter emphasizes the notion that entrepreneurs can challenge powerful incumbents and thus achieve “creative destruction,” the more nuanced corollary is considerably less bullish.4 When combined with the status quo-preserving tendencies of political institutions, yesterday’s entrepreneurs’ success in building large companies can actually undermine prospects for today’s entrepreneurs. As a result, sustained development is achievable only through active efforts to preserve the possibility of entrepreneurship in its myriad forms—economic, social, and political.
