This is the third-annual Global Entrepreneurship Week, and more than 10 million present and aspiring entrepreneurs will participate in events during the week of November 14-20, 2011.

Anyone, anywhere can participate in wide-ranging activities that includes virtual and face-to-face events, competitions, and intimate networking gatherings. In the U.S. alone, 1,400 organizations will be hosting 3,500 events across most of our states. For information on entrepreneurship activities wherever you live in the world, click here.

Global Entrepreneurship Week is an initiative of the Ewing Marion Kauffman Foundation of Entrepreneurial Activity, the world’s largest foundation of its kind. Here is what Carl Schramm, President and CEO of the foundation had to say about this special week:

“For one week each November, students, educators, entrepreneurs, business leaders, and government officials come together to pursue one cause—to spread the power of entrepreneurship. It’s during this time that we celebrate the innovators who bring ideas to life, drive economic growth, and expand human welfare.”

Although supported by dozens of global leaders and well-know entrepreneurs, the mainstream media seems to have totally ignored the significance of the events of this special week. In the long term, these events could be much more significant to global economic stability and growth than all the G-20 meetings combined.

There are several reasons for China’s continued growth presented in the article, but I found one thing especially interesting—most of the government leaders are engineers; they know how to work from a plan.

Could we have too many lawyers in Washington…and not enough engineers?
