This Pioneering Volume Examines The Ways In Which Innovation Is Funded In The United States. In Case Studies And Theoretical Discussions, Leading Economists And Economic Historians Analyze How Inventors And Technologically Creative Entrepreneurs Have Raised Funds For Their Projects At Different Stages Of U.S. Economic Development, Beginning With The Postcivil War Period Of The Second Industrial Revolution. Their Discussions Point To Intriguing Insights About How The Nature Of The Technology May Influence Its Financing And, Conversely, How The Availability Of Funds Influences Technological Advances.These Studies Show That Over The Long History Of American Technological Advancement, Inventors And Innovators Have Shown Considerable Flexibility In Finding Ways To Finance Their Work.
