the article mentions that "entrepreneur" studies are being added to many curriculums. this is fantastic, if the baby boomers retire fast enough there might be a chance of real capitalism returning to the USA. entrepreneurs drive every increase in standard of living.

For some reason, I find an oxymoron in phrases like "entrepreneur curriculum."

Quite. Surely we would be better improving the curriculum so that children have a better chance of learning to think critically and imaginatively about all classes of problems, rather than adding narrow vocational studies. A world where everyone is an entrepreneur in spirit may be utopian; a world where everyone is an entrepreneur in the limited sense that governments and educational systems think of them sounds utterly dystopian.

I took a new entrepreneurial module for computer scientists in my last year of university.

It was a nice idea but in truth we would have all been better off if we'd been given a link to pg's essays and been told to go home.
