Entrepreneurs:
The Economic Spark
by Thomas V.
Metz, Jr.
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.
