It has been since before the Great Recession of 2008, and the negative trend in American entrepreneurship has been accelerated by the Covid pandemic. New firms are being started at a slower rate, are employing fewer workers, and are being formed disproportionately in just a few major cities in the U.S. At the same time, large chains are opening more locations. Companies such as Amazon with their deliver everything and anything are rapidly displacing Main Street businesses.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIn \u003ci\u003eThe New Builders\u003c\/i\u003e, we tell the stories of the next generation of entrepreneurs -- and argue for the future of American entrepreneurship.
