The National Dialogue on Entrepreneurship has a link to a new article in Region Focus, a journal produced by the Federal Reserve Bank of Richmond, "Nature vs. Nurture," by Charles Gerena.

What a waste of our tax money! We already know from several studies that entrepreneurial success rates increase dramatically with proper training.

I wonder if government bureaucrats are born, or made.....hmmmm.....
