Overall captivating
Over all this was great read and while I disagree with much of the content, it was refreshing to see things from a different although outdated perspective on how useful the free market can be at dictating the development of technologies. Now if I am recalling correctly this was a thesis from the 1950's and does not stand true today. I will be giving this another read before I make my decision on the matter concrete, but will recommend to anyone trying to gain some insight into todays delimas and that desires a great undering of the "free market system".
