Entrepreneurs and the Search for the American Dream (Hardcover)
Series: Framing 21st Century Social Issues

The book's central focus explores several "myths" associated with
American entrepreneurship: the idea that small business owners are
"job creators"; that entrepreneurs are the "backbone" or "engine"
of the economy; that entrepreneurship provides a path of economic
mobility for immigrants, ethnic and racial minorities, and women;
that the Horatio Algiers "rags to riches" story is possible for
anyone willing to work hard. Instead, I provide a critical
perspective that challenges these myths of American enterprise,
arguing that successful entrepreneurship requires access to social
and economic capital resources and support that are often
distributed along the lines of race, class, and gender in the
highly stratified American economy and society.
