Education
While I agree that education should be geared more towards business (Editorial, September), the advent of large companies is also partly to blame for a lack of entrepreneurial spirit in our youngsters.
In almost every industry sector, five or fewer companies control 75 per cent of the UK market. For example, over the last 25 years, the five main supermarkets have increased their market share from 50 per cent to 75 per cent. Perhaps this explains why food sold in supermarkets is so bland and monotonous. Yet the Competition Commission does nothing to stop this harmful development of multinationals in all market segments.
In such circumstances, youngsters will always be encouraged to be employees rather than employers.
