Description:

The American Dream is rooted in opportunity. And perhaps nowhere is that concept stronger than in the prospect of starting one's own business. Does entrepreneurship still hold the promise it once did? We look inside three very different small businesses to see how their owners are seeking success. Also, we talk with high-tech entrepreneur Vivek Wadwha, who currently serves as a magazine columnist and as a professor at Duke University, about how globalization has affected small business in this country.
