Summary
"In public discourse in the United States, small businesses are lauded as drivers of the economy and keys to economic growth, while 'big business' is often vilified. Even in the face of evidence that larger firms are proven to be more likely to stimulate economic growth, American public policy favors small businesses through measures such as lowering taxes or regulatory requirements for firms under a certain number of employees ... Rather than simply taking the opposite view that 'bigger is better, ' the authors argue that a modern capitalist society has room for businesses of all sizes and that we should not be privileging one type of business over another due to size alone"--, Provided by publisher
