| Abstract
|
:
|
The contributors to this volume explore the implications of government funding of scientific research and offer alternatives to the heavy reliance on government support that research and development (R & D) currently enjoys. Each author squarely confronts the problems arising from the idea that government funding of R & D is and ought to be the norm.
