Reviews for States of Innovation: Driving the American Economy in the 21st Century

“A powerful, original account of the US innovation ecosystem, compellingly emphasising state interventions. Iconoclastic in its implications and highly persuasive.” Colin Hay, Sciences Po ""A compelling multi-scalar analysis that challenges conventional accounts by revealing the heterogenous and polycentric nature of the US innovation ecosystem."" Elvira Uyarra, University of Manchester
