Uncertainty has preoccupied me since John McArthur, the late great Harvard Business School Dean, gave me a copy of Frank Knight’s forgotten treatise, circa 1990. It framed much of my writing and teaching on entrepreneurship, finance and innovation ever since.

Uncertainty and Enterprise — tries to pull this all together in a book that Amazon already has on preorder. (I’m hoping that a few friends will spring for the $34.95, or charge it to their expense accounts.)

The book’s completion coincided with my retirement (Emeritus in Latin) as the Thomas Schmideiny Professor of Business from the Fletcher School at Tufts. That ended 35 years of teaching entrepreneurship at HBS, Chicago, Columbia, and finally, the Fletcher School.
