The Governance Gauge: Entrepreneurial Economics

We hope you’re enjoying your Sunday, and hope that this weekend’s Governance Gauge will get you ready for the coming week! For more reading materials, our reading list is constantly updated.

“Entrepreneurial Economics” is a 2002 book by George Mason University’s Alex Tabarrok. The main subject being examined in the book is solving problems of the commons, externalities, and similar economics issues traditionally handled by national or local governments. The book provides excellent explanations of dominant assurance contracts and creative solutions to societal ills, with great application in the zone and innovative governance industries.

There are 7 chapters making up this Sunday’s read — Insurance, Information, Organs, Justice, Securities, Patents, and Urban Transit. Every chapter is written in an economic and potable tone that is novice-friendly.

Creators of zones and societies will find chapters 1, 2 and 7 insightful: insurance, information and urban transit are fields that zones can easily innovate in, and these chapters offer great tools for improving them.

Policymakers and analysts can take a look at chapters 4, 5 and 6 as they explain the core of government-handled externalities as they are handled currently and as they can be improved.

Scholars and experts might appreciate chapters 3 and 7, as they are instrumental to understanding the rules that underlie creating solutions that can be used by policymakers and zone entrepreneurs.
