More important than small business in on its own, a society with entrepreneurial spirit at least spurs creativity.
I more or less agree with this. If we encourage people to start small businesses, most of the businesses will be useless, but some will make more important contributions to the economy. As patrick1 pointed out, every business is a small business when it starts out; even something like Google or Apple.Not true - some businesses started out big. A good example would be the Home Depot - the whole innovation behind its business model was that it would be big.
