Drawing from both entrepreneurial (Austrian) economics and the experiences of inspiring modern business leaders, the authors lay out a provocative road map to escape the administration trap and rebuild organizations around the principles of value creation. They also outline a vision for business education that replaces the ubiquitous MBA with the MBE--master of business enterprise--to ensure that the next generation is trained in entrepreneurial leadership instead of administration.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhether you're a founder, an executive, or a rebel within a legacy system, this book is a call to arms.
