Book excerpt: Anthony Ellison cuts through conventional neo-classical interpretations to expose the indispensable contribution of entrepreneurs in driving the market process and, in particular, in accomplishing the deregulation of the transportation, trade, telecommunications and financial regimes both in North America and across the globe. Entrepreneurs have an important role in any economy but the author argues that they have played a crucial part in shaping the contemporary global market. This book situates the emergence of the contemporary global market economy within an historical context.
