“Fritsch and Wyrwich have written a book with exemplar empirical studies on the role of entrepreneurship culture in the long-term evolution of regional economies. … This context provides an excellent testing ground for hypotheses about the culture–entrepreneurship–growth nexus. … These books substantially expand our scientific and practical

knowledge about entrepreneurial ecosystems, start-up communities and entrepreneurship cultures. … Good research not only provides answers but also raises new questions. These two books certainly do.” (Erik Stam,Regional Studies, Vol. 57 (4), 2023)“‘Regional Trajectories of Entrepreneurship, Knowledge, and Growth: The Role of History and Culture’ takes the reader on an empirical journey exploring how and why cultural factors related to entrepreneurship vary across regions, as well as how these variations impact upon rates of regional economic development. … the concept of ‘entrepreneurial ecosystems’ has become a fashionable and potentially enduring means of understanding the components in places, especially regions, that impact upon on entrepreneurship.” (Robert Huggins, Papers in Regional Science, Vol. 98 (3), June, 2019)
