About this ebook

Entrepreneurship: A Primer explains what is distinctive and important about entrepreneurship and its role in boosting innovation, progress, productivity and economic growth. These crucial contributions of entrepreneurship are not widely understood. Indeed, they are often completely overlooked in mainstream economics textbooks. Yet they make entrepreneurship vital to all of us as workers, consumers and citizens.
