Surfing on youtube I found an interesting video about Entrepreneurship. It seems like a trailer for an upcoming DVD from “Action Institute“. Take a look at it because it’s really inspiring.
You can view the High Quality Trailer too.
This phrase, in particular, struck me:
…You can think of the first Farmers as the first Entrepreneurs. Farms made Cities possible, and then the Cities made Civilization possible, and Civilization made things like World Wide Commerce, Technology, Science, Music and Phylosophy possible…
Is Entrepreneurship about building wealth? Reverend Robert Sirico, author of The Entrepreneurial Vocation, joins Michael Novak, George Gilder and other experts in exploring how entrepreneurs shape our world.
Robert Sirico, founder of the Acton Institute for the Study of Religion and Liberty, was asked whether Capitalism and Christianity were natural enemies. Sirico responded that
I don’t think capitalism is a natural enemy of Christianity. Capitalism is really an inadequate word; it only describes one dimension of what is really human freedom and choice in the economic sphere. Choice is morally neutral. It’s the chooser who can be moral or immoral, not the ability to make the choice.
What do you think about capitalism? What do you think about the relationship between Entrepreneurship and Morality? Do we really have the power to build wealth? Are you one of those who heard “the call”?
