Understanding Entrepreneurship provides a comprehensive description of entrepreneurship, and explores how it plays 
a decisive role in creating growth, employment and prosperity. The book is based

The authors also examine how taxes, regulations, and government policy can facilitate productive entrepreneurial activity.
