The Kauffman Foundation recently addressed this issue in a paper by Paul Kedrosky and Dane Stangler, "Financialization and Its Entrepreneurial Consequences (http://www.kauffman.org/uploadedFiles/financialization_report_3-23-11.pdf)." The authors recognize that the financial services sector plays a key role for entrepreneurs, providing systems for obtaining funding and managing cash flow, which might otherwise be inaccessible. But when the financial sector becomes too large, as they argue it has in the U.S., it drains talent from entrepreneurial ventures, thereby depleting our economic strength.http://www.forbes.com/2011/04/12/financial-sector-mba-entrepreneurs-opinions-contributors-carl-schramm.html
