What is the secret behind America’s economic success? Could it be our technology or our citizens’ level of education? No, says Carl Schramm, president of the Kauffman Foundation, the secret lies in our spirit of entrepreneurship. In The Entrepreneurial Imperative (Harper Collins, 2006), Mr. Schramm examines the history of innovation in the United States, as well as the current state of corporations, the government, universities, and start-up firms. He concludes that in order to maintain its economic superstar status, the United States must increase its support of entrepreneurial activities in all aspects of society.
