Entrepreneurs: The Economic Spark

by Thomas V. Metz, Jr.


entr book cover

Bettencourt Publishing Ltd., August 2025
Soft Cover and Kindle, 189 pages

Entrepreneurs create every company and every job in America. They take risks, often fail, yet they persist and drive the innovation that improves our lives. They are the driving force in the economy.

Many people misunderstand how our economy works. They think markets fail, the economy is zero-sum, profits are excessive and spending drives growth. 

This book explores entrepreneurship, risk-taking and value creation. It explains how markets really function and why economic freedom matters. It challenges the myths that distort our understanding of free-market capitalism.
