I agree that our economy and innovation as an economy is driven by Entrepreneurs who are trying to make a profit, but I feel like you are downplaying the creativeness and overall aspirations of the entrepreneur. For example, a lot of time innovation from an entrepreneur could be swayed by losing a family member, and them wanting to do better by them. In a capitalistic society everything we do it for an exchange of money or some type of good. The entrepreneur is not going to completely change your life for the better and not expect anything in return. If that was how things were, we would be even more lazy as a society than we already are.

<"...We cannot know what opportunities for improvement to our lives that we could lose by using existing resources to a greater degree," (Bylund 2016, p.12).>

I liked this quote you used from Bylund because it incapsulates the way his mind would kind of be one tract obviously because he says we won't know the opportunities we would lose by reallocating resources. That is the whole idea of innovation in itself, right? How can I use these resources I have to live better or what can I use to do this quicker and easier? Always improving on the way you do task throughout your day-to-day life makes you more adaptive till eventually that is how you think about everything. I think that Entrepreneurs are people that have hardwired themselves to be people of growth. They are willing to lose which most people aren't willing to do. Most people want to play it safe and know that they are secure.

The value we place on things comes from the demand each one of us have for a certain material, for example, steel is needed for everything from infrastructure to flower bed borders which continue getting higher and higher like everything because we are demanding those products more, so the suppliers are raising their prices because he knows that we have to buy it. Bylund also made a reference to the economy always being a push and pull system. Demand goes up the price goes up, demand goes down and the price follows suit. I agree with you that the processes changing overtime are generally better than the one they preceded, but that is only because we learned better from that previous process the other person was doing it by.
