Second, the nature of enterprise and entrepreneurship needs to be considered. The dominant ideology in the field is the US model of 'free-market' economic growth, bur it is not the only one and it cannot be assumed to be appropriate to every situation. Given the level of state protection and subsidy provided to many US businesses, including corpo- rates, it is questionable whether the term 'free-market' is appropriate in the cases of American subsidised agriculture, aerospace and defence industries. Other models of enter¬prise in different cultures, including the village economy, the family business, the social and community enterprise, rely on social interaction and meet market needs whilst also providing income and employment. There are serious economic questions over the policy of developed countries subsidising farmers to grow crops such as sugar and cotton which can be grown at lower cost by farmers in developing countries.
