Contents:
The Israeli startup nation exemplifies the existence of parallel entrepreneurial societal spaces. The lecture will analyze the positionality of entrepreneurs belonging to a variety of groups that characterize Israeli society, and uncover structural disadvantages and related levels of precarity as well as existing links between entrepreneurial advantages and disadvantages, mobility and varying degrees of social marginality.
The lecture will shed light onto the problematic and sometimes contradictory myth that entrepreneurship is meritocratic and that neoliberal capitalism provides everyone with equal opportunities to succeed. In this sense, some myths are questioned and the future of the startup nation is critically but carefully discussed.
