Summer Reading Suggestions for the Savvy Entrepreneur
The Entrepreneurial Society
By David Audretsch (Oxford University Press, 2007)
David Audretsch is well-known in academic circles for numerous articles and papers on the entrepreneurial economy. In The Entrepreneurial Society, he presents a compelling statement of how entrepreneurship has helped drive America to global financial leadership. He contends that the entrepreneurial economy represents a strategic response to the growing importance of knowledge as the key factor in economic success. In the past, capital and labor were the key ingredients for prosperity. Today, knowledge capital and entrepreneurship capital have assumed a more pre-eminent role.
