Funding Innovation: Government Investment vs. the Free Market

10am

From the telegraph to the airplane to the internet, America has long been a wellspring of innovation. But, for over 200 years, one investor in particular has funded trillions of dollars in defense, manufacturing and biotech projects: The US government.  Coming up, we’ll look at the government’s role in industry, and talk with a guest who proposes a New American System.

Guests:

• Jim Manzi, Senior Fellow at the Manhattan Institute, Founder and Chairman of Applied Predictive Technologies
• Stan Veuger, Resident Scholar at the American Enterprise Institute
• Simon Tripp, Senior Director of the Battelle Memorial Institute’s Technology Partnership Practice
