Publisher Description

Political economy has been at the core of entrepreneurship research since its conception. Although the entrepreneur is frequently regarded as the key figure in the capitalist system, academic research in economics has for a long time overlooked the entrepreneur in its analyses of growth. In terms of political economy this neglect has been even more glaring. These volumes bring together the most important contributions from a very scattered and disparate research field. The collection provides scholars, postgraduates, and students of economics and entrepreneurship with a systematic exposition of a largely undefined field of research.

Author Biography

Review

'Magnus Henrekson and Robin Douhan have assembled a well-integrated collection of scholarship that will broaden intellectual horizons about the role of the entrepreneur in an economy.'- Albert N. Link, University of North Carolina, Greensboro, US'The persistence of significant differences in the level of entrepreneurial activity across countries is one of the most puzzling phenomena of the modern economy. Cultural differences and their interplay with the institutional and political system are usually mentioned as the drivers of these differences. The political economy approach of the present book is a quintessential step to unravel these drivers. It provides a definitive survey of what the literature has to offer.'- Roy Thurik, Erasmus University Rotterdam, The Netherlands
