Entrepreneurial economics : bright ideas from the dismal science

This book reveals the power of economic thought to offer innovative solutions to some of the difficult problems facing society today. By creating markets where none existed before, the economists contributing to this volume propose efficient, reliable, and profitable improvemnets to current systems of health insurance, financial markets, human organ distribution, judicial practice, bankruptcy and securities regulation, patenting, and transportation. Written in the entrepreneurial spirit, these essays show economics to be an ambitious dynamic, far-from-dismal science.
