“Entrepreneurs and the global economy, 1980–2020” charts important shifts in corporate culture from managerial capitalism to shareholder capitalism. Other upheavals were brought about by deregulation, free-market economics, and increasing financial complexity. Silicon Valley was emblematic of the changing business landscape, creating small, nimble companies and cult figures such as Steve Jobs. The personal computer, eventually taking the form of the smartphone, was one of the most disruptive inventions of the time. The early 2000s were characterized by financial innovation and scandal, culminating in a recession that lasted through 2010. Recently, business leaders have been criticized for political lobbying, environmental recklessness, monopolistic behavior, and creating wealth inequality.
