摘要

We need only compare our standards of living with those of a few gener-ations ago, when vaccines or air travel were not widely accessible, to obtain a sense of how much the advancement of science and technology has been a boon for society. And when we realize how much of that advancement has been sponsored by the govern-ment, we develop an intuitive support for public funding of research. Although the history of federal research is primarily characterized by incremental increases, a few waves of enthusiasm have generated large surges of support for certain projects. A critical question is whether these large commitments of public resources have generated proportionally large societal benefits. Are we better off with them? Are they even necessary?
