Bücher der Reihe Palgrave Studies in Democracy, Innovation, and Entrepreneurship for Growth

This book argues that ideas in the social realm are the context-bound products of distinct histories and cultures and thus cannot be co-opted across place and time. The book emphasizes that the dominant Western intellectual paradigm has not improved human society in either Western or non-Western parts of the world.

This book depicts the role of both formal and informal institutions in achieving long-term economic efficiency and development.
