Entrepreneurship and the market process

Entrepreneurship is central to the market process, and yet most theories on the subject fail to tackle the problem of how economic agents learn from their experience. This book redresses this by systematically applying the ideas of Karl Popper. It treats the entrepreneur as a theorist who develops conjectures which are then tested by exposure to the market, in an effort to eliminate errors. This is a critical aspect of the development of new ventures, as most entrepreneurial ideas turn out to be mistakes, at least in their original form.
