skills of entrepreneurship � one person at a
time.

* Sirolli�s book �Ripples from the Zambesi� has become a popular guide for local
economic development leaders seeking to understand how to unleash the power of
entrepreneurship in their communities.

* The �giant sucking sound� is back ... only this time it is not Mexico taking away
American jobs. It is China sucking jobs away from Mexico and from many other countries.
