• Presents eye-opening insights and reflections on the current and future state of entrepreneurship and innovation in society
• Explains why today's cities are the primary source of opportunities for new entrepreneurs
• Pays much-needed attention to the growing role of local governments in fostering entrepreneurship and innovation
