Abstract:
Social justice is a key goal of education in the United States. However, entrepreneurship
- and therefore entrepreneurship education - typically are viewed as the antitheses of social justice.
It is the purpose of this paper to show that not only are the goals of social justice and
entrepreneurship education capable of simultaneous realization but also to argue that
entrepreneurship education is a viable and even potent economic access strategy for enabling a
social justice agenda. The paper is divided into three parts: 1) Social Justice as Fair Access to
Economic Opportunity; 2) Benefits of Entrepreneurship/Entrepreneurship Education for Achieving
Economic Access and Mobility; and 3) Listening to Youth: Entrepreneurship and Incorporating
Entrepreneurship Education into School Curricula.
