Can Governments Till the Fields of Innovation?

NYTimes:Home - Site Index - Archive - Help INNOVATION — the tricky, many-step process by which ideas become products and services — has typically been seen, studied and celebrated at the micro level, as a pursuit for entrepreneurs and clever companies.

Here are some real-world examples to illustrate the point: The capt..... (more)
