Entrepreneurs Bring Change to World (2/2)
"Right now we're in about 55 countries, and about 567 cities across the world." Some analysts say Craig's List is having the same effect on newspapers that Ford's car had on the horse and wagon. Since the collapse of communism, entrepreneurs have taken off in places where they were once forbidden, like Russia. Yana Yakovleva is the financial director of a Moscow company that manufactures silicone. Despite new freedoms, she says, that government bureaucracy still makes it hard to be an entrepreneur. "A bureaucrat scores a point for each court case he initiates or for every company he closes, and this improves his job performance evaluation," she noted.
In Venezuela, currency exchange controls and a leadership hostile to free markets make it difficult to do business. Caracas food distributor Santiago Alvarez complains that government bureaucrats are unhelpful. "Getting all the permits to start a business is a real challenge," explained Alvarez. "You have to face tremendous amounts of bureaucracy from a lot of different entities, in order to get permits and to get financing."
