First, I have to admire the audacity of you using a lifelong academic, who is an employee of the Ministry of Education, to further a point about entrepreneurship.
Second, show me a proof that there is a societal benefit of having a majority of high risk taking entrepreneurs within a country, or even that any country can sustain an artificially high number of entrepreneurs.
Third, if you actually bothered to look up the observatoire de la création d'entreprise you would have seen that the number of created businesses has steadily increased, and is being supported more and more by our lagging, yet trying to evolve, government.
