If Israel Kirzner Were Dead, He Would Be Rolling in His Grave


Entrepreneurship has nothing to do with government. Government only gets in the way.

    False. There is crony entrepreneurship. Government can get in the way of an entrepreneur's competitors, to the benefit of the entrepreneur.

    Your idealism is hopelessly naive.

    Didn't you know that government when they act take from some and give to others? Well, there is an crony entrepreneurial art on the "giving to others" side.

  4. Why? Kirzner can't really tell an entrepreneur from a promoter.

    1. Which means you can't tell the difference between an entrepreneur and a capitalist.
