LONDON – The conventional view in mainstream economics today is that governments have little capacity to spark innovation. The state should play as limited a role in the economy as possible, the thinking goes, intervening only in cases of “market failure.”
伦敦—当今主流经济学的传统观点是政府没有多少刺激创新的能力。这一观点认为，国家在经济中所扮演的角色应该尽可能小，只在“市场失灵”时出手干预。这远非现实。
