Reviews

'Policymakers, researchers and society at large struggle with ways in which policy can support entrepreneurship and business. There is a clear need for new and innovative policy tools. This collection of high-quality contributions puts political entrepreneurship at center stage, and illuminates the role the political entrepreneur could play in creating new and improved ways to develop and implement public support for entrepreneurship. The arguments are sound, and are presented and organized in a coherent way. The book is a pleasure to read and provides important insights.' -- Martin Andersson, Blekinge Institute of Technology, Research Institute of Industrial Economics and Lund University, Sweden
