The Man, His Values and His Vision: on Technology

To compete globally, invest in education and technology

Invest in nanotech and materials science

• On investing in technology: “Our national investment in technology comes from both the private and public sector. However, corporations today spend more on tort liability than they do on research and development. While the government already invests heavily in defense, space, and health technologies related to power generation, nanotechnology, and materials science.”
• On the rate of profit on technology investment: “In technology we as a country already invest an enormous amount--for instance, in defense technology, space technology, health--but we also need to invest in some of the emerging technologies that are important at a basic science level, such as fuel cell technology, power generation, materials science, automotive technology. We have to recognize that where we invest as a nation, both from a government standpoint but also from a private standpoint, those are the areas we’ve been most successful.“
