The Changing Frontier
In 1945, Vannevar Bush, founder of Raytheon and one-time engineering dean at MIT, delivered a report to the president of the United States that argued for the importance of public support for science, and the importance of science for the future of the nation. The report set America on a path toward strong and well-funded institutions of science, creating an intellectual architecture that still defines scientific endeavor today. In 'The Changing Frontier', Adam B. Jaffe and Benjamin F. Jones bring together a group of prominent scholars to consider the changes in science and innovation in the ensuing decades.
