{"product_id":"entrepreneurs-and-the-search-for-zulema-valdez-9781138922556","title":"Entrepreneurs and the Search for the American Dream","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe book's central focus explores　several　\"myths\" associated with American entrepreneurship: 　the idea that small business owners are \"job creators\"; that　entrepreneurs are　the \"backbone\" or　\"engine\" of the economy; that entrepreneurship provides a path of economic mobility for immigrants, ethnic and racial minorities, and women;　that the Horatio Algiers \"rags to riches\" story is possible for anyone willing to work hard. Instead, I provide a critical perspective that challenges these myths of American enterprise, arguing that　successful entrepreneurship requires access to social and economic capital resources and support that are often distributed along the lines of race, class, and gender in the highly stratified American economy and society. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Zulema Valdez\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1138922552\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781138922556\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Routledge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/03\/2015\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 62\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.35lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.80h x 6.80w x 0.20d","brand":"Zulema Valdez","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48444068987135,"sku":"9781138922556","price":34.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_136e63d5-7701-4919-bf13-c9faf4cdd84f.jpg?v=1777209783","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/entrepreneurs-and-the-search-for-zulema-valdez-9781138922556","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
