A book by Dan Varroney
Rethinking Economic Growth
How Small Businesses Can Help Consistently Grow the Economy
Why does an economy that depends on small business make growth so difficult for its owners?
Dan Varroney examines the gap between celebrating small businesses and creating the conditions they need to succeed. Drawing on original research across industries, he connects the pressures facing owners to the policy choices that shape American prosperity.
For business owners, association leaders, boards and policymakers.

Small-business research. National economic consequences.
The book brings together economic data and twelve original case studies to examine the needs of small-business owners. Examples span equipment manufacturing, energy handling, fragrance and other industries. It explains how economic policy reaches businesses with very different operations and challenges.
Finding and keeping workers
Examine the workforce pressures that limit owners’ ability to serve customers and expand.
Making regulation workable
Understand how compliance demands affect the time and resources available to run a business.
Taxes and access to capital
Consider the conditions owners need to reinvest and sustain their businesses.
A case for consistent economic growth
The book’s argument begins with Main Street: more consistent national growth requires conditions that allow small businesses to act. It asks policymakers, business leaders and the public to connect support for entrepreneurs with practical changes that can strengthen their future.
