I describe the government’s wielding of their authority in order to direct work in science and technology in order that the outcomes are aligned with political considerations. “After their [scientists and scholars who left Germany] exodus the great mathematician David Hilbert was asked by the Education Minister Bernard Rust, ‘And how is mathematics in Göttingen now that it is free of Jews?’ ‘Mathematics in Göttingen?’ Hilbert repeated. ‘There is really none any more’ (Reid, 1970).” In this section I discuss the theme of authority and its pernicious inhibitory role in invention, discovery, and innovation, and the thriving of science and technology.

摘要

I describe the government’s wielding of their authority in order to direct work in science and technology in order that the outcomes are aligned with political considerations. “After their [scientists and scholars who left Germany] exodus the great mathematician David Hilbert was asked by the Education Minister Bernard Rust, ‘And how is mathematics in Göttingen now that it is free of Jews?’ ‘Mathematics in Göttingen?’ Hilbert repeated. ‘There is really none any more’ (Reid, 1970).” In this section I discuss the theme of authority and its pernicious inhibitory role in invention, discovery, and innovation, and the thriving of science and technology.
