On Thursday, October 24, 2019, Dr. Alexei Marcoux presented “Why Entrepreneurship Theory Matters: Economically, Politically, & Morally” at Emporia State University.  There is a great deal of agreement that entrepreneurship is important, but much less agreement about what it is. Dr. Marcoux argues that the question, “What is entrepreneurship?”, is more than mere semantics. The question draws us to the important intersection of our economics, politics, and morals.
