Minusta valtion ei pitäisi tukea mitään muuta kuin perustutkimusta.
Tämä kyllä jarruttaisi kehitystä pahasti. Melko iso osa teknologiasta (jos ei jopa kaikki hyödyllinen) kuitenkin kehitetään julkisen rahoituksen turvin, ja historiallisesti yksityisten firmojen rooliksi on yleensä jäänyt kermojen kuoriminen päältä. Jopa Piilaakson menestys menee hyvin pitkälti julkisen sektorin piikkiin.
Innovation: The Government Was Crucial After All by Jeff Madrick | The New York Review of Books
The rise of Silicon Valley, the high-technology center of the US based in and around Palo Alto, California, is supposedly the quintessential example of how entrepreneurial ideas succeeded without government direction. As Summers put it, new economic ideas were “born of the lessons of the experience of the success of decentralization in a place like Silicon Valley.” In fact, military contracts for research gave initial rise to the Silicon Valley firms, and national defense policy strongly influenced their development. Two researchers cited by Mazzucato found that in 2006, the last year sampled, only twenty-seven of the hundred top inventions annually listed by R&D Magazine in the 2000s were created by a single firm as opposed to government alone or a collaboration with government-funded entities.
State of innovation: Busting the private-sector myth - opinion - 26 August 2013 - New Scientist
Apple is a perfect example. In its early stages the company received government cash support via a $500,000 small business investment company grant. And every technology that makes the iPhone a smartphone owes its vision and funding to the state: the internet, GPS, touchscreen displays and even the voice-activated smartphone assistant Siri all received state cash.
Eiköhän Nokiakin aikoinaan noussut Sitran ja Tekesin tuen turvin markkinajohtajan asemaan.
