Agree or disagree, it's a really good article. I find it hard to understand how the author's ideas can be implemented without a surge in government regulation (which usually leads to more innovation stagnation, not less) - but the ideas are fascinating. It may be that for some of these problems government should be less involved, actually, since government's main role currently is to back the wealthiest, most powerful stakeholders, not promote competition. OTOH, in other areas it's obvious that major research efforts would pay off - though not if funded by a particular vendor.
