      abstract = {This book offers a critique of social justice theory and  its impact on entrepreneurship. It traces social justice's  deep roots in postmodernism by positioning it within new  intellectual, social, and economic environments. It  highlights underlying theoretical assumptions, with  implications for boundary conditions. Science depends on  assumptions and boundary conditions. Unfortunately, a  glaring weakness in entrepreneurship research has been its  general failure to identify these premises. No theory is  universally applicable, so its assumptions and boundary  conditions are what give it analytical power. They come  from a theory's philosophy of science. However, even more  rare than stating assumptions and boundary conditions is to  discuss a study's philosophy. In fact, no known  entrepreneurship research has discussed a study's  philosophical orientation. This provocative work details  postmodern grievances related to critical theory, their  origins, and specifically how they impact entrepreneurship.  It will challenge the current direction of entrepreneurship  research and confront the general acceptance of the tenets  of postmodernism among entrepreneurship scholars. James O.
