Innovation for the Masses

'This marvelous book offers a deep understanding of the (very different) ways in which innovation works in Switzerland, Sweden, Austria, and Taiwan. The four countries examined have institutions and policies that spread the benefits of their innovative sectors widely across their populations; unlike most other successful innovators, they also produce decent societies. Distinguished from the many books on innovation I've read in recent years, Neil Lee's work presents a thought-provoking set of ideas and is sure to have a great impact--the samizdat version already has.'--David Soskice, coauthor of Democracy and Prosperity: Reinventing Capitalism through a Turbulent Century
