Product Description
In the first of these two short essays, "The Entrepreneurial Life," Dr. David Kelley discusses the psychological and moral character traits essential to living successfully in a free society. In the second, "Is It Nobler to Give than to Create?", he argues that greater nobility accrues to acts of successful production than acts of philanthropy and, accordingly, that we should honor those who create wealth more than those who give it away.
