This book argues that while public ownership of key industries has often been a force for good, purchasing already existing private companies at inflated prices is often a waste of money that burdens the public with debt. Instead, the author suggests that governments would be better served by focusing on acquiring useful new inventions. They argue that the technological discoveries of the last hundred years have been used primarily to enrich the capitalist class because the state grants private individuals monopolies on these innovations. The author instead suggests that governments take control of new patents and inventions, fairly compensating the inventors, in order to prevent the monopolies that lead to such inequality. By doing so, the author believes nations can more effectively and equitably capitalize on the progress offered by future technological advancements. This book will be of particular interest to readers seeking a deeper look at the development of capitalism and the obstacles it presents to true social progress.
