The U.S. has long welcomed risk-takers, but entrepreneurship is fast becoming a mass movement that is transforming our economy and society.

The American Dream used to mean a home of your own. Now, it means owning equity in a business. The budding entrepreneurs of St. Mary's also put the market's gyrations into perspective.
