- Summary:
- America's innovation advantage has historically rested on a balanced division of innovative labour among corporate labs, universities, start-ups, and government. In the mid-20th century, famed corporate laboratories (Bell Labs, Xerox PARC, DuPont Central Research) combined discovery and development under one roof, turning frontier science into world-changing innovations. Today, many of these labs have closed, downsized, or redirected toward more short-term applications, while universities and start-ups have taken their stead. Inventing Prosperity explains how these structural shifts have affected the American innovation engine. Drawing on a wealth of data linking patents, scientific papers, venture activity, and firm performance, the authors show that the chief bottleneck is not a shortage of breakthrough science or funding but a structural mismatch
