Their Role and Impact\u003c\/em\u003e proposes  and supports the claim that small firms make two indispensable  contributions to the economy. First, they are an integral part of the  renewal process that pervades market economies. New and small firms  play a crucial role in experimentation and innovation that leads to  technological change, productivity and economic growth. Second, small  firms are the essential mechanism by which millions enter the economic  and social mainstream of American society. The public policy  implications for sustained economic growth and social well-being is  the continued high-level creation of new and small firms by all  segments of society. It should be the role of government policy to  facilitate that process by eliminating entry barriers, lowering  transaction costs, and minimizing regulation. \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Springer\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2012-10-09\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Paperback\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e ISBN-10: 9781461373568\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9781461373568\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-1-4615-5173-7\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 235cm x155cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 177\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44358754795660,"sku":"9781461373568","price":99.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9781461373568.jpg?v=1755113402","url":"https:\/\/lateknightbooks.com\/products\/9781461373568","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
