Unfortunately, there was little effort by publishers, researchers, and government to challenge the conventional wisdom. More unfortunate was the fact that broadened examination of economic theory was available. This shortcoming has impoverished students and ultimately those in society who would make national decisions.”Leaving entrepreneurship out of the text books,” declares Gunderson, “ is pernicious because students must comprehend economical systems with a vital part missing. Without an entrepreneurial element an economy would cease adapting to new circumstances and soon disintegrate. Every economy, no matter how traditional or tightly regulated, relies on entrepreneurs for survival.”
