Interesting speech by Noam Chomsky.
Research:
- What is the history of R&D funding in the US? Is most of the private sector's progress driven by public sector research, as Chomsky posits? I know that productivity is the key driver of economic growth, and productivity is in turn largely driven by scientific research and advancement. Thus, this is a crucial issue to consider when deciding on how big a role the state should play in the economy.
- Another thought I had while watching the speech. What is the relationship between a nation's increased economic wealth and its level of ethics/values/morality? Is morality an economic luxury?
- Learn about Chomsky's propaganda model. Read the manufacture of consent.
