The Entrepreneurial State: Debunking Public vs. Private Sector Myths

Named one of the best books of 2013 by the ‘Financial Times’, ‘Huffington Post’ and ‘Forbes’, this debate-shifting book debunks the myth of the State as a static bureaucratic organization only needed to ‘fix’ market failures, leaving dynamic entrepreneurship and innovation to the private sector. Case studies ranging from the innovations that make the iPhone so ‘smart’ to the current developments in clean technology reveal the reality, whereby the private sector only invests after the entrepreneurial State has made the bold, high-risk investments.
