Most Entrepreneurial Tycoons "Begin as Rebels and Outsiders"
(p. 8) Because entrepreneurship overthrows establishments rather than undergirds them, the entrepreneurial tycoons mostly begin as rebels and outsiders. Often they live in out-of-the-way places-- like Bentonville, Arkansas; Omaha, Nebraska; or Mission Hills, Kansas--mentioned in New York, if at all, as the punch lines of comedy routines. When these entrepreneurs move into high society, they are usually inheritors on the way down.
