摘要

Edmund Phelps's 2013 book - Mass Flourishing - received a warm welcome. The reason for this was that Phelps reminds us of certain truths, worth reiterating after decades of academic works that focused more on science and technology than innovation and after decades of public policies that concentrated on scientific and technological capacities and generally missed their real target, namely innovation. Phelps reminds us of the basic economic dimension of innovation by proposing a narrow and radical definition of it: innovation is an idea with a commercial aim that is developed and commercialized and adopted by the market; this is what innovation is and thus, innovation capacity (of a country for example) is restricted to those who develop and commercialize these new ideas, those who have to finance these activities, and those who are going to adopt or reject them. Therefore, it is clear that science and technology are only rather indirectly linked with innovation. Certainly, they sustain the production process of new commercial ideas (and in certain sectors this role is very important) but they do not lie at the core of the phenomenon. What does lie at the core is the concept of economic knowledge - what works and what does not from an economic standpoint; thus, what lies at the core is not the R&D laboratory but what Phelps calls "a vast imaginarium, a space for imagining new products and processes" (p.27). And so the problem of the decline of the West and its dynamism, as documented by Phelps, is neither a problem of the inadequacy of the Science-Technology-Engineering-Mathematics (STEM) system nor a problem of the incompatibility of industrial policy, but instead a problem of economic institutions and governance that concerns those who conceive and commercialize new ideas, those who finance them and those who adopt or reject them. It is, above all, a problem of the culture, values, and mentality that either generate or not the energy and commitment of innovative entrepreneurs.
