ABSTRACT
Britain is now facing up to a number of key economic and social challenges which will help determine whether we enter the next century with the foundations in place to create and sustain a fair and prosperous society. The explicit aim of this chapter is to put forward a positive agenda for making Britain a ‘country of enterprise’ in which all sections of society have the opportunity to display their entrepreneurial talents. By doing so we can help to secure a number of desirable objectives, not least increasing technological advancement, creating the industries of the future, reducing unemployment and regenerating stagnant communities. These aspects are all considered in detail subsequently.
