Description

Most historical studies of entrepreneurship lack a theoretical and comparative approach. For the first time a single volume combines a comparison of seven national experiences. This book, from leading specialists, combines historical archive-based work and synthetic theoretic surveys, to reflect the current state and new directions in research.
