Abstract: Abstract First section of this chapter has a discussion with narrative case material offered on deregulation and its free market “entrepreneurial” expression, execution and effects ranging from corruption to inept implementation, leading to eventual but unwilling demise. Second, outsourcing and its discontents, ranging from employee suicide, toxic pollution and collusive boundary blurring, are anatomized and found wanting because of entrepreneurial “insouciance” (meaning carefree disregard for normal rules of health, safety and human dignity). Finally, globalization—through its reliance on “lawless” entrepreneurial practices in global supply chains is scrutinized. The second half of the chapter is exercised by entrepreneurship insouciance, or even “imperiousness”; what is wrong with it and why entrepreneurs are voting with their feet. Brief discussion and conclusions follow.
