As innovation and entrepreneurship transformed the Western world, particularly the U.S., they are now remaking other parts of the world, particularly China and India. This book looks at the
factors which brought about the ascendancy of the U.S, compares China and India while examining the evolution of these factors in the past, and assesses the future vis-a-vis continued growth in
these economies. Twenty-two chapters are divided into four parts: innovation; entrepreneurship; impact on the economy; conclusions. Chapters are: innovation; history; economy; culture; laws,
rules, and role of government institutions; demographics; education and universities; industry and market structures, industry, and regional clusters; opportunity areas for innovation;
entrepreneurship; personal characteristics; social and cultural factors; entrepreneurial training; external environment; infrastructure; capital availability; entrepreneurship; impact on the
economy; general macroeconomic framework; an economic model; entrepreneurship indices relevant macroeconomic data; conclusions and thoughts about the future. Annotation ©2015 Ringgold, Inc.,
