“Commanding Heights” should be compulsive reading
for any entrepreneur or entrepreneurship course.
“Commanding Heights” is indispensible for understanding
the virtue of selfishness and the morality of capitalism.

“The entrepreneur is therefore above all else a man of the mind.
The entrepreneur is the man who is constantly thinking of new
ways to improve the material or spiritual lives of the greatest
number of people.
And what are the social and political conditions which encourage
or inhibit the entrepreneurial mind? The free-enterprise system
is not possible without the sanctity of private property, the
freedom of contract, free trade and the rule of law.
But the one thing that the entrepreneur values over all others
is freedom–the freedom to experiment, invent and produce.”
