Fragments of Reality

Fragments of Reality book cover

Readers have found Petri’s writings encouraging and touching the deepest and most fundamental issues of life:

Fragments of Reality is a really great summary of wisdom.”

“The book inspires ideas and methods that one can experiment with in daily life and help improve the quality of living.”

“Fragments of Reality provides one with a collage of insights written from the point of view of a person who has committed to live in the present…It is like an exploration of the world that Eckhart Tolle describes, but in unpretentious cameos.”

“I find it fantastic that someone could have written a book that brings into modern terms what Ramana Maharshi, Huang Po, Bankei, and others have said from ancient times.”

Government’s Role in Early Stage Growth Companies: An Austrian Perspective to the Finnish Innovation System

Government's Role in Early Stage Growth Companies: An Austrian Perspective to the Finnish Innovation System

The study focuses on the fundamental question whether governmental actions can increase social utility in the early stage growth company sector. Previous research has shown that the current Finnish high tech private sector is heavily occupied by government agencies and intervention but the actual results are very poor and even counterproductive. In the recent scientific research it is often assumed that governmental intervention is necessary and beneficial to the society.

The research uses Austrian economics and more specifically the Misesian approach, praxeology, as its methodology that is based on the logical process of deduction from the self-evident axiom of human action. The conclusions from the deductive process are absolutely true and cannot be tested nor verified by empirical evidence—there are no constant variables in human sciences.

The book is able to explain the current state and condition of the high tech growth company sector and its ecosystem. The analysis is an eye-opener for any market participant who is involved with current innovation systems today, no matter whether you are an academic, entrepreneur, financier or government official.
