        @WSJ @mattwridley Rubbish. Research sets out the big ideas often from things that wouldn't seem commercial. The market merely refines it.

        .@WSJ @mattwridley the 80% of lending that goes into inflating the price of pre-existing assets probably crowds out innovation effectively.

        @WSJ @mattwridley Would Edison or Polaroid's Edwin Land worked so hard to invent if they could not protect. It's unlikely.

        @WSJ @mattwridley Thru patent clause, gov't manages the great risk/price of innovation. Patents manage the downside risk. No mention by you.

        @WSJ @mattwridley If invention is meaningful, inventor gets 20-year monopoly & public gets new invention. If not? Gov't pays $0.

        @WSJ @mattwridley Should govt. fund science? Can public schools even teach basics, such as handwriting, using libraries, reading books?
