A Green Entrepreneurial State? Exploring the Pitfalls of Green Deals

“A Green Entrepreneurial State? Exploring the Pitfalls of Green Deals, editors Magnus Henrekson, Christian Sandström, and Mikael Stenkula bring together a col­lection of essays that critique green deals theoretically and empirically. So far, the scholarly literature has paid relatively little attention to failures surrounding green deals. This volume helps to fill that gap by providing a clear and compelling explana­tion of government failure in this policy area.” (Jordan K. Lofthouse, The Review of Austrian Economics, October 13, 2026)
