The literature existing on entrepreneurship implicitly assumes that entrepreneurship and government
and economic growth are positively related with each other and there is a positive correlation among

mainly the role of government in enhancing entrepreneurship in the society.
Keywords: Entrepreneurship, Government, Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs).

or the Third World, and the former Soviet Union countries
Until a few years ago, most of these countries were really
following other systems rather than the capitalist system.
That has all changed since the fall of the Berlin W all.

place, we’ve all been making sure that we have fiscal

account balances in order, especially since the fall of the
