: Black Economist's Research Finds A Blindspot On A Theory Of Innovation-gctid525600

I think we can start to think about what it will take to build an advanced industrial and information economy in Kmt. That will supercharge our wealth creation. That is, only after we get our Group economics right. And I think we need to thoroughly understand and destroy any anti-black violence in our institutions.

This story is important for all scientists, engineers and creators of all kinds. Dr. Lisa Cook did some research on Black inventors in the US. And one of the highlights is how violence (think Tulsa Oklahoma, 1921) destroyed that innovation. Ie, "... she found a blindspot in a big theory on innovation: the idea that if we just make strong patent laws, innovation will come. True for some, not true for others. Her research has huge implications for Black Americans — and for the wealth of entire countries. But convincing her colleagues took a lot more than data."
