Southern Entrepreneurship

The latest issue of SouthNow, a publication of the UNC Program on Public Life, analyzes entrepreneurship in the American South. The issue features a survey of state policies regarding entrepreneurship. While every Southern state is attempting to support entrepreneurship as part of larger economic development efforts, some state efforts have proven much more successful.

Besides providing a state-by-state summary of entrepreneurial efforts, the issue also contains several essays discussing the potential and pitalls of an entrepreneurship as an economic development strategy.
