The economic of entrepreneurship : serving yourself by serving other well
An entrepreneur is someone who discovers and provides for an unmet need by producing value for others in the
community and for themselves. In short, entrepreneurs are both problem solvers and wealth creators. Creating and
maintaining a culture that embraces entrepreneurship is critical to the long-term prosperity of our economy and our
society. Entrepreneurship is an act of serving one’s self through serving others well. We believe that students can
increase their chances of success with practical education about entrepreneurship, markets, and the economic way of
thinking.
This course is designed to help students discover the value of entrepreneurship and the importance of strong character
in a free and civil society. These ready-to-go lessons introduce students to entrepreneurship and the economic way of
thinking through a series of carefully selected articles, videos, discussion guides, student handouts, and activities.
