Book Review: Questioning the Entrepreneurial State: Status Quo, Pitfalls, and the Need for Credible Innovation Policy

Downloads
The essays presented in Wennberg and Sandström’s _Questioning the Entrepreneurial State_ tackle the idea of the state not merely supporting innovation and entrepreneurship through creating a favorable environment, but instead making decisions about what entrepreneurial ventures to pursue. It provides a much-needed holistic critique of the entrepreneurial state that is likely to appeal to a big-tent audience within the Austrian community, and it provides a primer on a wealth of academic foundations upon which to build for researchers interested in studying the idea of the entrepreneurial state.

What is the Mises Institute?

The Mises Institute is a non-profit organization that exists to promote teaching and research in the Austrian School of economics, individual freedom, honest history, and international peace, in the tradition of Ludwig von Mises and Murray N. Rothbard. 

Non-political, non-partisan, and non-PC, we advocate a radical shift in the intellectual climate, away from statism and toward a private property order. We believe that our foundational ideas are of permanent value, and oppose all efforts at compromise, sellout, and amalgamation of these ideas with fashionable political, cultural, and social doctrines inimical to their spirit.
