Prof Dr Ted Baker (Newark, USA) and Prof Dr Dr h.c. Friederike Welter (IfM Bonn/University of Siegen) discuss this question in their article "Silicon Valley Entrepreneurship: Reflections on a Popular Myth" for the edited volume "Economy and Evolution: Institutions, Liberal Democracy and Economic Development".
