Knowledge and Entrepreneurship in Public Policy summarizes and expands the frontier of the social science of entrepreneurship and public policy by presenting chapters from a diverse set of scholars who explore the ubiquitous role of entrepreneurs in society from the private sector to the administrative state. The volume achieves these gains by integrating the insights of the Austrian, Virginia, and Bloomington schools of political economy, and is essential reading for scholars interested in knowledge and entrepreneurship in modern society.
