Re: Cold War Science Beat Free Market?
[ QUOTE ]
Government spending on certain sciences during and as a result of the cold war (nuclear, rocket, space, moon, computers, etc.) advanced the scientific knowledge ball much further than businenss as usual would have done during the same years. True or false?
[/ QUOTE ] FYI-most spending on advancing scientific knowledge is still done by the gov't, not by private businesses. So more is still being produced than what would be without the government to assist the market.
