What made Bell Labs so successful is simple: - public funds - researchers free to research instead of producing something marketable in 6 months or less - long term projects and goals as a NORMAL thing instead of being considered folly - a school system designed to make citizens not useful idiots https://www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/2020/08/i-was-useful-idiot-capitalism/615031/ https://www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/2020/08/i-was-usef... Unfortunately the last point in the present time demand IN THEORY at least some new generations to be achieved, in practice the ruling class do not want at all anything like that so it's mere utopia. As a bottomline: EU was the most advanced countries of the world, when it do public funded research and industry, it commit suicide with WWI, the USA have copied and advance the EU model after WWII, then commit suicide as well with finaciarisation of anything, now it's China who rule, but the model, the substance is the same: countries grow and prosper with public funded research with long terms goals and researchers free to master themselves with the industry picking marketable research from them instead of commanding research. Countries might vary, populations might vary, implementations might vary a bit, but the principle so far have proved to be the same. As a result we are in a decline phase, which probably result in a series of LOST wars, and a long era of poverty and destruction before a new start.
