Entrepreneurial Ventures and the Developmental State: Lessons from the Advanced Economies

No DP2008-01, WIDER Working Paper Series from World Institute for Development Economic Research (UNU-WIDER)

Abstract: A basic intellectual challenge for those concerned with the poverty of nations is to come to grips with the nature and causes of the wealth of the world's wealthier nations. One might then be in a position to inform the poorer nations how they might achieve similar outcomes. This paper is organized around what I call 'the theory of innovative enterprise', a perspective derived from the historical and comparative study of the development of the advanced economies.
