"For the United States to survive and continue its economic and political leadership in the world, we must see entrepreneurship as our central comparative advantage...We either support and nurture increasingly entrepreneurial activities in all aspects of our society and around the globe or run the very real risk that we wil become progressively irrelevant on the world stage and suffer economically at home."
