Summary/Abstract: Many international academic authors have tackled the topic of the financial knowledge, financial behavior and entrepreneurial attitudes of the young generation and discussed the different aspects of financial and economic culture in various countries (OECD, 2005; Remund, 2010; Samy et al., 2008; Lusardi et al., 2010; Atkinson and Messy, 2012; Csiszárik-Kocsir, 2014; Dunay et al. 2015; Hornyák, 2013; Kovács et al., 2013; Strbová and Zozulaková, 2017; Żak, 2017). This chapter focuses on entrepreneurship and the entrepreneurial attitudes of students from the four Visegrad countries that share similarities in their historical background, traditions and economic situation.The present chapter discusses two important topics. The first topic concerns the students’ opinion on entrepreneurship: What are the main motivations and attitudes of the Visegrad group university students regarding entrepreneurship and entrepreneurial activities? The second one poses questions of the social register: What does this generation think of wealth and poverty? What are the main causes of social inequalities and differences in financial statuses of different social groups? What is their opinion on the idea of social responsibility?
