Today I am going to talk about more modern ideas about what happens when new technology interacts with trying to make a profit. The, possibly unexpected, conclusion is that the limits to innovation do not lie within science or technology, but within the ability of institutions to restructure themselves in the presence of the unknown. It is therefore quite likely that a much slower rate of innovation willprovide our gradchildren with better science and technology.
