Youth Entrepreneurship and Local Development in Central and Eastern Europe

Bruno Dallago · 2017
64/100
👎 Skip It

What I like here is that it pushes back on the easy assumption that 'just start a business' fixes youth unemployment — it actually digs into why that's often wishful thinking in post-communist economies. Smart, skeptical policy work, but it's written for economists and policymakers, not for someone browsing for a good read.
