Synopsis

Looking at what happens when science marries money, this book focuses on the interaction of finance with the key frontier technologies of today's era - television, microelectronics and computers, pharmaceuticals, wartime radar and biotechnology. This book reveals how the source of money, whether from corporations, government, venture capital or public markets - shapes the resulting technology. It also shows how the closing gap between basic and applied science results in a particular kind of entrepreneurial enterprise that can exploit it. The book dispenses with the myth that bigness is best. Robert Teitelman is the author of "Gene Dreams: Wall Street", "Academia and the Rise of Biotechnology".
