Foundations of Entrepreneurship and Economic Development

This well-written book is the first to deal with entrepreneurship in all its aspects. It considers the economic psychological political legal and cultural dimensions of entrepreneurship from a market-process perspective. David A Harper has produced a volume that analyses why some people are quicker than others in discovering profit opportunities. Importantly the book also covers the issue of how cultural value systems orient entrepreneurial vision and in contrast to conventional wisdom the book argues that individualist cultural values are not categorically superior to group oriented values in terms of their consequences for entrepreneurial discovery.
