Resumen
This contribution seeks to achieve three main objectives. First it draws on a substantial, but often overlooked literature on wide-scale international decline in entrepreneurship as recorded in the ?business dynamics? literature. This has serious implications for academic study of entrepreneurship which must re-direct its focus to problems of entrepreneurial unattractiveness dating from at least the 1980s. More important, public policy makers and political ideologists need further to be apprised of the erroneous nature of many of their beliefs and further change the subsidy regimes they bestow on often unproductive entrepreneurship. Second, the contribution seeks one part of the explanation of the declining attractiveness of entrepreneurship in the psychology of the ?dark triad? of negative personality traits that has been connected to the literature on ?dark entrepreneurship? as a possible and partial, but important reason for the growing unattractiveness of entrepreneurship. The contribution devotes attention to the ?Mindfulness? movement in considering the detoxification of ?dark entrepreneurship?. Finally, in what may be an original response to this analysis, the contribution draws attention to recent work on a putative ?light triad? of personality traits and applies it, possibly for the first time, to secondarily researched accounts of ?green entrepreneurship?. The conclusion is that there may be a future for green entrepreneurship as a means for recovery in the current status of more traditional ?business dynamics?.
