| Summary: | Although scarce in the literature of entrepreneurship, the Aztec and Mayas
(as well as the Incas), two of the most important civilizations in ancient Latin
America, are considered by us as entrepreneurs. This is our departing point
for understanding where entrepreneurship was born and built in Latin
America. Unfortunately, its indigenous communities still are far behind in
terms of labor, quality of life, poverty, and economic opportunities. From
the ethnic entrepreneurship theory and after a deep literature review, a model
is proposed for our region, a starting point to analyze and understand its
processes in our region, thus making an impact on the development of public
policies that can ultimately alleviate and improve the condition of this
communities, and by going back to its roots, give a clearer picture of the
reasons behind the present and future condition of entrepreneurship in Latin
America. |
