"You pick up the fundamentals of business theory in about the first three
weeks of any core graduate curriculum (the better ones, anyway), and it's
enough to speak relevantly to the issues that have come up so far."

Ah! There's hope for us all yet. You remind me of the words of an
economics professor who was asked what constituted a satisfactory economics
essay, and he responded "two facts to a page and the rest b---s--t." I
subsequently learnt that even the facts were illusory.

And, if I may recall your immediately prior post in response to mine
regarding "entrepreneur", your use of the term "pioneering" entrepreneur
also reminded me of the old adage, that we are "different people divided by
a common language", for I was using the term "entrepreneur" in the
(18-19thC) conceptions of Cantillon, Adam Smith and JB Say, and overlooked
the fact that subsequent American usage has given it a far wider compass.
