Portage and path dependence
Lin, Jeffrey; Bleakley, Hoyt (2011)
The authors examine portage sites in the U.S. South, Mid-Atlantic, and Midwest, including those on the fall line, a geomorphological feature in the southeastern U.S. marking the final rapids on rivers before the ocean. Historically, waterborne transport of goods required portage around the falls at these points, while some falls provided water power during early industrialization. These factors attracted commerce and manufacturing. Although these original advantages have long since been made obsolete, the authors document the continuing importance of these portage sites over time. They ...

The engine of capitalist process: entrepreneurs in economic theory
Formaini, Robert L. (2001-10)
Market economies rely on entrepreneurs as their driving force. In this article, Robert Formaini examines why entrepreneurs are important for us today. He traces the history of the concept of entrepreneurship in economic theory, showing how the concept's popularity has varied greatly since its first use. Formaini seeks to examine the concept's development as one of the key explanatory variables for profit, economic growth, and income differentials. Finally, he investigates the policy implications of adopting different views of entrepreneurs.

Institutions and government growth: a comparison of the 1890s and the 1930s
Rhine, Russell M.; Garrett, Thomas A. (2008)
Statistics on the size and growth of the U.S. federal government, along with the rhetoric of President Franklin Roosevelt, seem to indicate that the Great Depression was the event that started the dramatic growth in government spending and intervention in the private sector that has continued to the present day. Through a comparison of the economic conditions of the 1890s and the 1930s, we argue that post-1930 government growth in the United States is not the direct result of the Great Depression, but rather is a result of institutional, legal, and social changes that began in the late 1800s.
