Rethinking Enterprise Policy
Policies to increase the level of enterprise and entrepreneurship, in many countries and regions, have often failed. This book explores this and gives alternative views to derive a different model, based on social influence, which is consistent with the evidence and which might therefore lead to better policy.
The Search for Entrepreneurship
Since the 1980s, governments have often sought to encourage entrepreneurship on the assumption that it creates small businesses as the primary drivers of job creation. As a result, entrepreneurship has become a valid subject for academic research attracting extensive funding. Despite this explosion of scholarship, there is no accepted model of how entrepreneurship operates or even a commonly accepted definition of what it is. Simon Bridge posits that this is because entrepreneurship has been studied based on the false assumption that it exists as a specific discrete identifiable phenomenon operating in accordance with consistent, predictable ‘rules’. So this misdirected search has produced more questions than answers. Accepting that entrepreneurship as we have conceived it does not exist could lead to new and valuable insights into what the different forms of entrepreneurship are and how they might be influenced. Scholars, advanced students and policy makers will find this a thought-provoking insight into the misconceptions of ‘entrepreneurship’.

Stolen Angel
When Peter Howard stumbled across a kidnapped little girl in the middle of nowhere he intended to merely follow her home and then call the police, but then the man who was holding Lisa captive pulled a gun. The next thing Peter knew Lisa's captor was lying on the ground, bleeding, Lisa was in his car, and Peter was driving off madly into the night. Peter soon discovered that Lisa "s captor was the brother of the local police chief and that Peter himself was now wanted for kidnapping her. If the police caught them they would give Lisa back to her abuser and by the time Peter could get someone to listen to his explanation of what had really happened Lisa would have disappeared forever to keep her from telling any outsider her story. When Lisa told Peter her address he realized that her home was only a three hour drive away. Surely, the safest thing to do was just get her away from the local cops and take her home, just deliver her safe and sound into her parents " arms. But unknown to Peter the men who had kidnapped Lisa and sold her to the pedophile were already hot on their trail and not about to let Peter escape to tell anyone what he knew.
Dropping out of Socialism
The essays in this collection make up the first study of “dropping out” of late state socialism in Eastern Europe and the Soviet Union. From Leningrad intellectuals and Berlin squatters to Bosnian Muslim madrassa students and Romanian yogis, groups and individuals across the Eastern Bloc rejected mainstream socialist culture. In the process, multiple drop-out cultures were created, with their own spaces, music, values, style, slang, ideology and networks. Under socialism, this phenomenon was little-known outside the socialist sphere. Only very recently has it been possible to reconstruct it through archival work, oral histories and memoirs. Such a diverse set of subcultures demands a multi-disciplinary approach: the essays in this volume are written by historians, anthropologists and scholars of literature, cultural and gender studies. The history of these movements not only shows us a side of state socialist life that was barely known in the west. It also sheds new light on the demise and eventual collapse of late socialism, and raises important questions about the similarities and differences between Eastern and Western subcultures.
