Rather than simply asking how we can create more high-tech cities and nations, \u003ci\u003eInnovation for the Masses\u003c\/i\u003e focuses on what we can learn from places that foster innovation while also delivering the benefits more widely and equally. In this book, economist Neil Lee draws on case studies of Taiwan, Sweden, Austria, and Switzerland to set out how innovation can be successfully balanced toward equity.\u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003e As high-tech economies around the world suffer from polarized labor markets and political realities that lock in these problems, this book looks beyond the United States to other models of distributing a leading-edge economy. Lee emphasizes the active role of the state in creating frameworks to ensure that benefits are broadly shared, revealing that strong policies for innovation and mutual prosperity reinforce each other. Ultimately,\u003ci\u003e Innovation for the Masses \u003c\/i\u003eprovides a vital window into alternative models that prioritize equity, the roadblocks these models present, and what other countries can learn from them going forward.","brand":"Neil Lee","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42960222519414,"sku":"9780520394889","price":26.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0671\/1374\/6550\/files\/CoreSourceHub_41a63758-db85-4a54-b1a1-78fa75707a95.jpg?v=1767798320","url":"https:\/\/ingramacademic.com\/products\/innovation-for-the-masses-9780520394889","provider":"Ingram Academic \u0026 Professional","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
