Entrepreneurs and the Transformation of the Global Economy

Anthony Patrick Ellison, Adjunct Professor in the MPA Program, Nova Southeastern University, Florida, US

Anthony Ellison cuts through conventional neo-classical interpretations to expose the indispensable contribution of entrepreneurs in driving the market process and, in particular, in accomplishing the deregulation of the transportation, trade, telecommunications and financial regimes both in North America and across the globe. Entrepreneurs have an important role in any economy, but in this seminal study, the author argues that they have played a crucial part in shaping the contemporary global market. Entrepreneurs and the Transformation of the Global Economy situates the emergence of the contemporary global market economy within an historical context.

‘This is a book that should be read by those who teach and research in the area of industrial economics.’
– David Gray, Entrepreneurship and Innovation

‘Professor Ellison has written a wide ranging book which makes a major contribution both to serious economics and to practical policy making. Not surprisingly, given his expertise in those areas, he focuses a great deal on transport in general, and on civil aviation in particular. But perhaps more interesting is his emphasis on entrepreneurship and the human element in decision making. The result is a work which will be interesting and valuable in its own right to a whole range of economists. It will also repay scrutiny by others interested in transport, and business behaviour.’
