THE ROAD AHEAD

Author : Bill Gates
Publisher: Penguin Books
ISBN: 0140260404 , 978-0140260403

Readers of The Road Ahead fortunately will find an author that is an entrepreneur, not a corporate bureaucrat. Indeed, Bill Gates stands as one of the most successful entrepreneurs of the late twentieth century.
From the outset, Gates exhibits a clear preference for private economic actions over government. He dislikes the metaphor of the information superhighway to describe the unfolding developments in the information economy. He worries about the implication that a highway should be built by government, an option Gates considers a major mistake.
In the end, entrepreneurs lie at the center of the capitalist economy as the sources of creativity, innovation, and invention. Gates correctly notes: Entrepreneurship will play a major role in shaping the development of the information highway, the same way it shaped the personal-computer business. And he grasps the full benefits of entrepreneurship as well: The good news is that people learn from both the successes and the failures, and the net result is rapid progress.
