wacki,

I agree with you completely. Academia-centered research is an area that is often gnored by free market advocates, despite the fact that results seem to historically be pretty good.

I'm simply saying that even if that weren't the case, wealth efficiency isn't the be all and end all of life.

Who says I do? Currently, it is largely government funded. So, government funded research has done good things. Unless this stops tomorrow, I suspect government funded research will continue to produce good things.
