Recensione
By forcing us to look at economic innovation in these wide terms, Mr. Kingston has made a significant contribution where conventional economists have virtually declared themselves bankrupt, leaving the task of exploration to a rather small band of specialists, historians, and an occasional poet of the creative process like Jacob Bronowski. The author has thought deeply about the problems of creativity in business, and, I should guess, lived with them. His book is a personal statement about an intensely human process. It is worth reading at a time when industrial civilization will require heroic efforts if it is not to be overwhelmed by excessive population increase; food, energy and raw material supply; and the problems of pollution control. --By W. W. Rostow
L'autore
William Kingston has taught Innovation in Trinity College, Dublin, for more than 30 years. His work on the financing of new busnesses, published by the British Government Cabinet Office think-tank, led directly to tax relief for tax relief for equity investment to achieve this. He has been actively involved in technological innovation throughout his career, with numerous patents in his own right in the U.S. and other countries.
