Greg Clydesdale- This is the fourth book that Dr Clydesdale has written on economic growth and wealth creation.　 His first book Entrepreneurial Opportunities examined the features that make new business formation possible. In his second book Waves of Prosperity, he explains how productive capabilities have changed throughout history with a consequent change in a nation’s wealth. In his latest book, Reducing Intergenerational Ethnic Poverty, Dr Clydesdale examined how productive capabilities can be improved at the individual level. Finally, in the proposed book, Dr Clydesdale draws further on history to explore how government policy has been used to build productive capabilities.
