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

Abstract

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.
