      abstract = {In the new science and technology policy literature that  emerged in the early 1980s it was held, while public  support for science is appropriate, public support for  technology development represents an unproductive use of  public resources. The perspective that emerges in my recent  book, Technology, Growth and Development: An Induced  Innovation Perspective is quite different.
