| Summary: | "What makes the US different from other advanced economies is the opportunity for newcomers acting as entrepreneurs to start new companies, a few of which will then change the world." "The author provides a sharply etched portrayal of the geography of the new economy. The book lists specific case studies of the failure of established managerial corporations to capitalize on inventions, a failure remedied by newcomers. It recounts traditional and new theories of the entrepreneur and of creative destruction. Primers on venture capital, IPOs, and Internet business models are included, as are comparisons of theory and data on the emergence of new 'strategic cities'." "Lastly, it offers a brief, readable, detailed, and company-specific history of the PC revolution and the coming of the Internet." "Economists, geographers, and regional scientists, students and readers interested in the digital economy, the Internet, the history of economic thought, and the New Economy together with investors will all find this book revealing and enlightening."--BOOK JACKET. |
