‘With an impressive line-up of diverse contributors from Latin America to Asia, from post-docs to senior academics, from engineers to social scientists, and from practitioners to public policy shapers, this Handbook impressively covers a wide range of historical and modern perspectives on frugal innovation. For anyone looking to advance their own research into this topic, this Handbook would be an excellent starting point. I have already highly recommended it to my PhD students.’
