“For me the most inspiring thing about the entrepreneurial method is that it is something [people schooled and unschooled] and folks like them everywhere can learn and use. And I know what they would use it for: to build a world in which all little girls and boys become capable of cooking up their own opportunities from scratch.”
Everyone Should Learn the Entrepreneurial Method, Saras Sarasvathy, Harvard Business Review (March 15, 2012)
