An in-depth exploration of what it means to be an entrepreneur, which delves deep into history and then brings the subject right up to the present-day. Lidow explores all aspects of entrepreneurship and the effect it has on society at large. It’s inevitably an academic text, but nonetheless readable and accessible for the general reader, and I found that I learnt a lot about the subject, aspects of which I’d never even thought about before. I really feel that my horizons have expanded after reading this book, and I recommend it, even if you might at first glance think it wasn’t for you. It made me realise how fundamental entrepreneurship is to us all.
