See her current book, discussing the extent to which so called entrepreneurs like Apple have sucked critical R & D, which everybody here had paid for in taxes, out of gullible and weak western democracies like us for many decades.
This technology, and much else, privatized for Apple profits for example, at great taxpayer expense here, mostly ended up, knocked off, and often even gladly licensed for limited private profits, in Asia, which, after 1945, put institutions in place to capitalize on it, against its creators themselves over here.
In spite of her best intentions, and really great text so far,
smell the coffee, game over for Western Civilization, pal!
She has great, not especially surprising, or technically new, ideas, that would have been useful to Western States in, say, 1900, some of which states' leaders also actually had known them in the 18th Century and before.
Back then, they had been called mercantilism, but it had needed to be updated, not replaced with Smithism..
