Best Quotes!
Here are some of the best quotes I’ve included in my work, hope you enjoy them.

Robert Litan, Kauffman Foundation’s Research Director
“Start-Ups, Not Bailouts”, Thomas Friedman, April 2010.

Steve Jobs, Apple’s CEO
“The Next Insanely Great Thing“, Wired Magazine, Gary Wolf, February 1996.
Argentina es la capital del emprendimiento de Latinoamérica.

muy buenas, auque brazil tiene tmb un gran poder emprendedor en LA
rodrigo, es cierto lo que decis, yo creo que depende como entiendas “capital del emprendimiento en la”, o sea, de acuerdo a que industria se mida, que poblacion (si es simplemente cantidad de emprendimientos o relativo a la poblacion total), y muchas otras variables que le pueden dar contexto al comentario.
de cualquier manera, como referencia, en el el global entrepreneurship monitor 2009 (http://www.gemconsortium.org/) podes comparar a ambos paises y veras que para los indices de “entrepreneurial attitues and perceptions” (pag 19) y en “entrepreneurial activity” (pag 22) estamos bastante parejos, depende cual elijas de cada uno.
Agrego otra muy buena que encontre hoy:

“When you get this happy coincidence of high-I.Q. risk-takers in government and a society that is biased toward high-I.Q. risk-takers, you get these above-average returns as a country,” argued Mundie. “What is common to Singapore, Israel and America? They were all built by high-I.Q. risk-takers and all thrived — but only in the U.S. did it happen at a large scale and with global diversity, so you had this really rich cross-section.”
Craig Mundie, the chief research and strategy officer of Microsoft.
