Entrepreneurship and the city / Edward L. Glaeser -- ch. 6. Star scientists, innovation and regional and national immigration / Lynne G. Zucker and Michael R. Darby A growing body of evidence has documented the critical role that entrepreneurs play in fostering economic growth.

The main message of this book is especially timely given growing concerns in developed countries in particular about off-shoring and openness to trade |
