With the literatures on finance and on innovation being largely separate, the editors (both of the U. of Hohenheim, Germany) seek to close the gap by presenting nine papers connecting the two
issues that are drawn from a symposium of the Lisbon Civic Forum at the U. of Hohenheim, held in October 2010. Topics include: financial bubbles, crises, and the role of government in
unleashing golden ages; innovation, financial activities, and the future of the European Union; the emergence, organization, and performance of financial markets in the case of the Alternative
Investment Market; financing instruments to combat crisis; automotive dynamics in the Stockholm and southern German regional economies; innovation policy, innovation, and innovation finance
co-evolution in the Israeli case; and venture capital in Canada. Annotation ©2013 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
