Entrepreneurship, Innovation, and the Growth Mechanism of the Free-Enterprise Economies
How much credit can be given to entrepreneurship for the unprecedented innovation and growth of free-enterprise economies? In this book, some of the world's leading economists tackle this difficult and understudied question, and their responses shed new light on how free-market economies work--and what policies most encourage their growth. The contributors take as their starting point William J.

Entrepreneurship and Openness
Entrepreneurship is critical to economic growth, but it cannot flourish without open markets. Entrepreneurs can only be expected to take risks in 'open settings' where individuals and firms are free to contract with one another. In this important book, leading economists explain and document the role of open markets, within and across national boundaries, in facilitating entrepreneurship, innovation, and economic growth. The main message of this book is especially timely given growing concerns in developed countries about off-shoring and openness to trade. The book includes discussions of 'star' scientists-entrepreneurs and their positive impacts on local growth, the globalization of venture capital, information technology, entrepreneurship and cities, culture, off-shoring, trade competition and the expansion of world trade. This book will be welcomed by policy makers at all levels of government, university leaders and academic scholars in entrepreneurship, business and management, innovation, economics, sociology and urban economics.

On the Legacy of Lutheranism in Finland
This volume analyses the societal legacy of Lutheranism in Finland by drawing on a multidisciplinary perspective from the social sciences and humanities. Involving researchers from a wide range of such fields has made it possible to provide fresh and fascinating perspectives on the relationship between Lutheranism and Finnish society. Overall the book argues that Lutheranism and secular Finnish society are deeply intertwined. This volume addresses different societal areas which have been significantly influenced by Lutheranism, but also demonstrate how Lutheranism and its institutions have themselves adapted to society. As part of an ongoing religious turn in humanities and social sciences research in Finland and other countries, this book argues that it is necessary to take religion into greater account to more fully understand current societies and cultures, as well as their futures.
