“Austrian Economics will find the volume’s analysis very congenial to the school’s ideas. While the socialist calculation debate may be in the past, this volume shows that the arguments marshalled by the Austrian school remain relevant to current economic issues. The larger value of the book to Austrian school scholars is that it analyzes a policy-relevant issue that warrants further research.” (Randall G. Holcombe, The Review of Austrian Economics, Vol. 37 (4), 2024)

“All three books provide important guideposts for organizing collective effort to develop the kinds of technologies needed to address the most important global problems of the twenty-first century. The academic credentials and scholarly perspectives of the contributors infuse Wennberg and Sandstro¨m’s edited volume with an analytical tone and comparative institutional lens that are very welcome in the conversation regarding how public policymakers should identify opportunities for encouraging innovation.” (Anita M. McGahan, Administrative Science Quarterly, October 31, 2023)

“The book is written for both academics and policymakers, and it is written clearly without an assumption that readers possess a strong foundation of economic training. … Questioning the Entrepreneurial State is an excellent edited volume comprising thought provoking concerns about the viability of an entrepreneurial state. … After reading this edited volume, readers will learn not just the entrepreneurial state and criticisms, but will learn about a variety of topics on institutions, ecosystems, sustainability, and politics related to entrepreneurship and innovation.” (Christopher John Boudreaux, Journal of Evolutionary Economics, Vol. 32, 2022)
