Entrepreneurial Time and the Bounding of Politics
Entrepreneurial Time and the Bounding of Politics
This chapter focuses on the history and political fallout of entrepreneurial urgency. It also considers the concept of “bias to action.” The bias to action was a regime of being-in-time that emerged in responses to shifts in political economy. Champions of the bias to action urge entrepreneurial citizens to proliferate experiments out of their lives, out of their social relationships, and out of their encounters with the poor. These relations become the “living lab” for experiments in adding value in the for-profit and non-profit sectors. At the same time that entrepreneurial citizens reach beyond their salaried jobs and into civil society and development, they worked in entrepreneurial time—amid a manufactured urgency that made democratic processes a threat to self-actualization and a threat to value.
