The Call of the Entrepreneur tells the stories of three entrepreneurs:
- A failing dairy farmer in rural Evart, Michigan
- A merchant banker in New York City
- A refugee from Communist China
One risked his farm
Brad Morgan turned a failing dairy farm into a thriving business. Morgan overcame the odds against him, creating value and wealth from the dirt under his feet.
One risked his savings
Frank Hanna is a merchant banker who explains how financial engineering not only makes credit more widely available to entrepreneurs today but also played a crucial role in the discovery of America.
One risked his life
Fleeing Communist China and leaving his family behind at a young age, Jimmy Lai took a chance on a better life in Hong Kong. Lai explains that entrepreneurs, when taking risks, are “dashing into hope.”
Why do their stories matter?
Because how we view entrepreneurs—as greedy or altruistic, as virtuous or vicious—shapes the destinies of individuals and nations.
