This volume collects 32 articles by Ács (along with others), previously published between 2007 and 2014 and focusing on his research on entrepreneurship and globalization during his years at
George Mason U. Impacted by rapid globalization, the role of institutions in economic development, and the spread of entrepreneurial activity around the world after the collapse of communism,
the research emphasizes the knowledge spillover theory of entrepreneurship from his previous book Entrepreneurship, Growth and Public Policy: Prelude to a Knowledge Spillover Theory of
Entrepreneurship and follows its organization by arranging articles by the role of individuals in entrepreneurship, the firms they start, economies at the city and country level, how societies
embrace or reject entrepreneurship and create opportunity for future generations, and public policy. Annotation ©2016 Ringgold, Inc., Portland, OR (protoview.com)
