@StarshipEngineer @rooster That said a lot of research for the "dark?" :) side of things end up enhancing public advancements. I was fascinated by the Secret History of Silicon Valley.

I'm way late to the party discovering #MarianaMazzucato. Or more accurately, realising I'd already run across her work.

She's an Italian-American #economist now in the UK, doing interesting work on #innovation, #technology, #GovernmentResearch and #economicPolicy, #monopoly, and #TheoryOfValue. Much is similar to ideas I've been pursuing for the past decade (almost certainly influenced by the penumbra of her work).

This Wired profile was buried in my article backlog and has been there for months if not years. I only consciously registered her name a few days ago.
