Critique of Entrepreneurship: People and Policy

Richard is good-looking and very smart, which is sexy to start out with. He additionally makes a billion dollars before breakfast—and still knows how to rejoice. Few folks in up to date business are as colorful, shrewd, and irreverent, and doubtless no one’s nearly as much fun to be around. . . . Branson embodies America’s cherished mythology of the iconoclastic, swashbuckling entrepreneur. Branson wears his fame and cash exceedingly well: no necktie, no chauffeur, no snooty clubs. . . . What continues to line Branson apart is that the distinctive -- and, to some, baffling -- nature of his ambition. . . . He isn’t inquisitive about power in the usual sense of influencing other people. . . . Boiled right down to its singular essence, Richard Branson simply wants to possess fun. Richard Branson . . . is dressed to the nines: during a $10,000 white silk bridal gown with a conventional veil and train and acres of lace. . . . Branson is anticipated to try to to the sudden, even the bizarre -- something to publicize his latest venture. . . . the actual fact is, Branson’s widely reported stunts seem almost staid compared to the unconventional approach he manages his burgeoning empire.
