What Have We Learned About Science and Technology from the Russian Experience?

Rating:
Summary: What we have learned about making poor arguement
Review: If you want to learn how to make broad vacuous claims then this book is for you. The argument made by this author about science were without substance or logic. He goes so far as to claim that the very content of science is a social product. If you think that this is true then go read the book, you deserve it.

Review: What did Russian-Soviet scientists want? They wanted more state money for fundumental science and less political interference. They got first and did not get second. If one wants to know how state funded basic science destroied Soviet economy and if one wants to know why state funded science is a most uneffective way of spending taxpayer's money then one must read Graham's book together with T. Kealey's classic Economical Laws of Scientific Research. Excellent, very usefull and well written book with a lot of novel ideas and unstandard conclusions.
