Entrepreneurship 'From the Ground Up'
-
Mark Marich
Recognizing the urgency to kick-start the economy through entrepreneurship, the Kauffman Foundation sponsored the latest issue of Democracy--a Journal of Ideas to examine how the government can promote firm formation and growth.
"From the Ground Up: Fostering Entrepreneurship" features essays by five esteemed experts who look at different aspects of the question from a progressive point of view: the growth of regional innovation clusters; the vital role that immigrants play in American entrepreneurship; the need to educate children to be entrepreneurs; the hurdles faced by minority entrepreneurs; and the political tensions within the progressive coalition that sometimes constrain the ability or willingness to embrace an entrepreneurship agenda.
"Each essay presents compelling insights and specific prescriptions about how to reform or draft new policies that will promote entrepreneurship in America," said Robert Litan, vice president of research and policy at the Kauffman Foundation. "Policymakers and economic leaders will find these essays thought-provoking and, we hope, inspiring."
