Yea, and I point out that the first big entrepreneurs in modern European history made their primitive accumulation of wealth based on cutthroat gangsters on ships who kidnapped people into slavery. The movie/novel _The Godfather_ is noteworthy ,not as an exception,but as a typical method by which entrepreneurship initiates itself. Look at Russia today. Entrepreneurism is the most organized crime.

After all, the guy who first distributed "crack" cocaine was an entrepreneur. Jim Devine [EMAIL PROTECTED] & http://clawww.lmu.edu/Faculty/JDevine/jdevine.html
