The Entrepreneurial State

There's this myth that governments don't innovate. In reality, innovative technologies come from government research/government-funded research all the time. The internet, Microprocessors, WiFi, Cellular networks, GPS, Solar panels, Lithium Ion batteries, touchscreen technology, LCD screens, even Siri itself. All created by government R&D or funded by governments. Look at space travel. Government funding & research trailblazed, now the private sector is leading the charge. The government-funded Human Genome Project gave us $100 genetic tests to find your cousins via Ancestry(dot)com or see which diseases you might be genetically prone to. GPS, the greatest government-funded endeavor ever. Like I keep saying, learn your history before repeating common misconceptions.

Highly Recommended.
