Tech advances only happen under freedom, they do not just happen. Collectives do not make technology, only individuals do. Eliminating taxes would encourage investments. Tearing down all interventions and regulations would free enterprise. Patents have distorted innovation. They are not necessary.

Hosted at the Mises Institute on 30 April 2010. Sponsored by Jeremy S. Davis.

The Mises Institute is a non-profit organization that exists to promote teaching and research in the Austrian School of economics, individual freedom, honest history, and international peace, in the tradition of Ludwig von Mises and Murray N. Rothbard.

Non-political, non-partisan, and non-PC, we advocate a radical shift in the intellectual climate, away from statism and toward a private property order. We believe that our foundational ideas are of permanent value, and oppose all efforts at compromise, sellout, and amalgamation of these ideas with fashionable political, cultural, and social doctrines inimical to their spirit.
