Le terme " décroissance " sonne comme un défi ou une provocation, même si nous savons bien qu'une croissance infinie est incompatible avec une planète finie. L'objet de cet ouvrage est de montrer que si un changement radical est une nécessité absolue, le choix volontaire d'une société de décroissance est un pari qui vaut la peine d'être tenté pour éviter un recul brutal et dramatique. Il s'agit donc d'une proposition nécessaire pour rouvrir l'espace de l'inventivité et de la créativité de l'imaginaire bloqué par le totalitarisme économiciste, développementiste et progressiste. Bien évidemment, elle ne vise pas au renversement caricatural qui consisterait à prôner la décroissance pour la décroissance. Celle-ci n'est envisageable que dans une " société de décroissance ", c'est-à-dire dans le cadre d'un système reposant sur une autre logique. Reste le plus difficile : comment construire une société soutenable, y compris au Sud ? Il faut en expliciter les diverses étapes : changer de valeurs et de concepts, changer de structures, relocaliser l'économie et la vie, revoir nos modes d'usage des produits, répondre au défi spécifique des pays du Sud. Enfin, il faut assurer la transition de notre société de croissance à la société de décroissance par les mesures appropriées. La décroissance est un enjeu politique, et il est d'ores et déjà certain qu'elle ne sera pas absente du débat électoral de 2007.

The importance of entrepreneurship for achieving economic growth in contemporary economies is widely recognized, both by policy makers and economists. However, empirical evidence linking entrepreneurship to economic growth is scarce. Empirical Analysis of Entrepreneurship and Economic Growth investigates the relation between entrepreneurship and economic growth at the country and regional level. The work contributes to our understanding of how entrepreneurship may affect economic growth. Among others, it is investigated whether the impact of entrepreneurship on economic growth varies with the development level of an economy, with the sector of economic activity, and with the quantity and quality of entrepreneurial supply. Empirical evidence is provided showing that the impact is dependent upon all these three aspects.
