Edited by David S. Landes, Joel Mokyr and William J. Baumol. 'There are other books on the history of entrepreneurship, but The Invention of Enterprise offers a substantial and fresh approach. These top-notch economic historians cover a vast geographic span and broad period of time.' William J. Hausman, College of William and Mary"The Invention of Enterprise addresses a topic that has been sorely neglected the role of the entrepreneur in historical context. The breadth of historical contexts contained in this volume provides compelling evidence that entrepreneurship is important for economic growth and that institutions shape entrepreneurship. This well-researched and well- written book is a pleasure to read.' David Audretsch, Indiana University
