"This is a masterful historical and conceptual analysis of the Three Player Game between the state, private entrepreneurial innovation and financial capitalism. The state has a key role in funding scientific research that leads to innovation. Amply funded by financial capitalism, innovation is a source of long term growth. But speculative funding of innovation is also associated with asset and credit bubbles that end up in financial crashes. A Minsky-inspired synthesis of the financial excesses of Schumpeterian creative destruction, this book should be required reading for all." - Nouriel Roubini, Professor of Economics at New York University and Chairman of Roubini Global Economics, '… a tour de force with a solid thesis, excellent writing and exposition, and a history that too many have forgotten … or never knew. Brilliant!' John C. Bogle, founder of Vanguard, "A revelatory exploration of the complex dynamics underlying the innovation economy and the inherent roles of speculation and waste as experienced by one of the great venture capitalists and political/economic thinkers of our age.

Simon Towers, Associate Vice President and Group Manager, Center of Innovation for Tomorrow's Enterprise, Infosys Labs, Advance praise: 'Bill Janeway, a key creator of modern venture capital, tells the amazing story of the intersection of economics and innovation. This book is essential to anyone who wants to understand technology and how its creation will be financed for decades to come.'

Synopsis
The innovation economy begins with discovery and culminates in speculation. Over some 250 years, economic growth has been driven by successive processes of trial and error: upstream exercises in research and invention and downstream experiments in exploiting the new economic space opened by innovation. Drawing on his professional experiences, William H. Janeway provides an accessible pathway for readers to appreciate the dynamics of the innovation economy. He combines personal reflections from a career spanning forty years in venture capital, with the development of an original theory of the role of asset bubbles in financing technological innovation and of the role of the state in playing an enabling role in the innovation process. Today, with the state frozen as an economic actor and access to the public equity markets only open to a minority, the innovation economy is stalled; learning the lessons from this book will contribute to its renewal., Combining insights from a lifetime's career in venture capitalism and a sophisticated understanding of the most up-to-date scholarship, William H. Janeway provides an accessible pathway for readers to appreciate the dynamics of the interaction between the state, financiers and entrepreneurs in the innovation economy.

- a***n (692)- Feedback left by buyer.Past monthVerified purchaseAAA+++!!!
- a***o (114)- Feedback left by buyer.Past monthVerified purchasePrice and free shipping make up for the problems. Shipping was slow. The spine on this hardback book was damaged. I would have listed it as "damaged", not quite "acceptable" condition. However for the price, I'm satisfied. It appears ThriftBooks has a large inventory, so I can see how this damage might be overlooked by many. However, in this case, it was missed. The book will need some TLC but the pages are clean and this is as close as I've been able to find the book that I needed.
- i***n (240)- Feedback left by buyer.Past monthVerified purchaseOverall good experiences always with this seller. Shipped quickly and carefully as always, great price for item and shipping. The seller does a great job, which is why I am a return buyer. Described as good, which it is. Skipped in a few spots, halfway through, but it was nothing that was bothersome. Good is not perfect to me, and I was satisfied!!! Thank you ever so kindly!!! : )) : )) : ))
