'It is time to acknowledge the difficult environment of entrepreneurs in the developing world without falling into the trap of undue pessimism by acknowledging the amazing resilience and ingenuity of those 450 million individuals participating in start-ups and new ventures in the world. This is what these highly international contributors to the book do and, therefore, the book is immensely helpful.'
