Week 2 Reading Reflection

I think the biggest surprise I found in the reading was when Kurakto mentioned how entrepreneurship has been the agent of change throughout history. It totally makes sense but you never really think of it like that. Technically, man discovering fire and learning to use it was entrepreneurship. It's been the driving force that's changed humanity over time and will continue to be for many years to come.
One thing that Kurakto mentioned that I tend to disagree with is when he tried to claim that entrepreneurs don't usually fail. He cited a study that traced thousands of business over 16 years and found that most of them were still surviving. This makes it seem like the course was easy for those entrepreneurs. Although most of them were still around, I'm sure that the vast majority of those businesses faced multiple failures before becoming successful. I think it would have been better if Kurakto talked about the ability of entrepreneurs to move past and overcome failures.
The main thing that confused me was when Kurakto was talking about the Entrepreneurial Revolution. Earlier he mentioned that entrepreneurship has been the agent of change throughout history. So then why in the twenty-first century are we experiencing a revolution if it's been happening this whole time? He compares it to the Industrial Revolution, but wasn't that entrepreneurship in a sense? Maybe the twenty-first century has just experienced more entrepreneurship than past centuries have. I'm sure he would be able to provide an explanation.
I think one really cool thing to ask Kurato would be whether he considers himself to be on the side of micro or macro entrepreneurship. I can understand both sides and see the benefits of each but it would be interesting to see where an expert stands on that issue. I would also like to ask him what he thinks has been the biggest change to entrepreneurship over the past century. He talks a lot about how people began to recognize entrepreneurship in the eighteenth century but I'm sure there were some large differences back then. It would be cool to see what he thinks has been one of the more drastic changes in the past hundred years.
