Abstract

This book looks at the potential and the limits of policies to promote entrepreneurship as an important vehicle for social mobility in Latin America and the Caribbean, as well as steps to remove the constrains that hamper entrepreneurship. This volume assesses the relevant literature on entrepreneurship and connects it with new developments in the analysis of the middle class and social mobility.
