What about the cooling effect of government spending on private sector innovation. Nobody can compete with the government, since it has unlimited pockets and the ability to legislate, so it would be irrational for any company to try. How do you account for that when you try to measure how much potential the private sector has for major innovations?



Do you have any evidence of this "cooling effect?"
