Even if entrepreneurship results in new jobs, these jobs are often lower in quality because they tend to be part-time, offer few development perspectives and are not well-paid (Reynolds and White 1997). As we argue in Gerpott and Kieser (2017), startup entrepreneurs are only in rare cases engines of growth; most of the times, they are closer to being free riders who benefit from an economic upturn (Scott Shane 2009).

To preview the structure of this chapter, we first offer a brief review of critical research that discusses the successful entrepreneur as part of a larger ideology of entrepreneurship. We then turn to the majority view of scholarly researchers who still try to find the success recipe of entrepreneurship and elaborate on recent findings related to the mentally disordered entrepreneur. We elaborate on how-to-guides as a means to try to convince potential entrepreneurs (i.e., everyone in society) to engage in entrepreneurial activities. Lastly, we turn to entrepreneurial teams as one possible way out of the disarray. We close by critically reflecting while this still may not outweigh reasons to be against entrepreneurship—at least if established in the current world order.
