Hunters in the Snow Analysis
I found "Hunters in the Snow", by Tobias Wolff, to be a somewhat unsettling story. At the beginning, it had a sort of happy vibe; basically three good friends going out on a fun trip. Though after a bit of character development and certain dialogue, it seems that they are not really friends at all. Frank is definitely a round character. In the beginning, he seems like a simple guy. He just basically does whatever

Entrepreneur in Economics
The Entrepreneur in Economics Current economic research denies the innate characteristics of the entrepreneur. Rather than attributing economic growth and innovation to personality traits, economists would rather advocate a form of economic determinism: if an aggressive personality dominated an industry, economists try to explain the characteristics of the industry that made aggression a successful strategy. Economic models are contrived to remove the personality from the entrepreneur, to make all entrepreneurial decisions predestined, given enough time.
