From the Introduction

It may not be terribly important to you to have a great deal of wealth — more than a million dollars. After all, money is but a means to an end.

It may not even run your motor to have a little more financial security or put your children ni private schools or send a thousand dollars to your favorite charitable or social cause.

But, if you’re going ot work al your life, you might as wel work for money. After all, you can’t buy a summer house on the lake with psychic income.

What if you learned that you could make several million dollars in the next five years? Would you be interested?

Maybe yes, maybe no.

What if you learned you could make several million dollars solving social problems? Would that interest you?

A little more perhaps.

There IS a radical new road to wealth. It has never existed before now and it may never exist again. The road is called the “RADICAL ENTREPRENEURIAL HIGHWAY.” Its existence results from the confluence of three factors:

1. ENTREPRENEURSHIP, the process of conceiving solutions ot problems and launching new companies to convey these solutions, is a discipline that can by systematically learned.
2. PROBLEMS seem to be our country’s most abundant natural resource. We live with a large and growing number of serious social problems prejudice, energy shortages, political corruption ad infinitum.
3. EXPANDED CAPITAL MARKETS developed in the 1950’s and 1960’s are eager to provide necessary capital to entrepreneurial problem solvers and to reward them for solving a particular problem well.

It is possible, for the first time in America, by implementing existing financing techniques and on-the-shelf technologies to make several million dollars in reward money for solving serious social problems. The process requires learning how to become an entrepreneur, which is the substance of this book.

There has been in the last decade a lack of entrepreneurial spirit in the country of the kind that existed after World War I. A large percentage of the population seemed to want someone else, such as the Government, to solve its problems. In his inaugural address, President Kennedy tried to shake us out of our apathy when he asked us to consider not what the country could do for us, but what we could do for the country.

Fortunately, there now seems to be good vibrations from young people in response to President Kennedy’s plea. Young people seem to be seriously concerned about our country’s social problems. They have exhibited this concern, through outrage, protest, sit-ins, marches and violence.

Now, the first glimmer of entrepreneurial spirit is beginning ot show among these “radical” entrepreneurs with the formation of companies intent upon delivering very practical solutions to serious social problems.
