Is Entrepreneurship Dead? The Truth
About Startups in America
It has become an article of faith that American
entrepreneurship is in trouble. Scott Shane persuasively
demonstrates that while an evolving market is changing the
nature of most startups, entrepreneurship is actually alive and
well. He reveals how the number of incorporated startups is
rising, fewer startups are failing, and the number of businesses
backed by investors is increasing. The overall picture is positive.
Exhaustively researched and compellingly told, this book will be
read and discussed for years to come.
