Andrew Coyne's a pretty smart fella - so when he talks with measured confidence about entrepreneurialism, labour health/productivity and innovation, I'm sure he's done his homework and therefore knows of what he types.
Some of the material he may have perused in his research:

There are 25 articles here; many are lengthy and pretty much all of them will strain your brain.
I could offer some recommendations on priority reading - I could even organize them into sub-groups and colour coordinate them. But again, Coyne's a smart guy, an independent thinker and pretty entrepreneurial himself.
Folk like that don't need guidance, do they? They always rise to the top and end up calling the shots, which is why we're where we are today.
