Innovation, Economic Progress and the Quality of Life

Edited by Gerry Sweeney

in Books from Edward Elgar Publishing

Abstract: Innovation, science and technology and the wealth gained from them make continuous media copy and yet there is a manifest imbalance in society, a paradox of more prosperity but growing exclusion. This book marks the 25th anniversary of the Six Countries Programme, which pioneered the study of innovation from a policy viewpoint but with a radical ethos.
