This is probably a bit tangential, but science, by itself, is not enough. I assume that many of the Nazis -- Heisenberg, for example -- as well as many of the scientists had Los Alamos are first rate scientists, who can produce important results. Until recently, many of the "finest" economists in the Anglo-Saxon world were proponents of eugenics.
I don't have an answer as to how to strike a balance between science and social responsibility in a capitalist world, but that objective seems more important than ever now. -- Michael Perelman Economics Department California State University Chico, CA 95929 Tel. 530-898-5321 E-Mail michael at ecst.csuchico.edu
