Review :
'Al Link and James Cunningham start their book by noting Vannevar Bush’s famed Science - The Endless Frontier. It is now the 75th anniversary of that work and we are overdue for a fresh look at the technology policy system Bush helped establish. Their work traces the institutional context for American technology policy and the core laws and policies that have evolved it, applying a clear grasp of the private sector's development role. Their book is a rich and thoughtful exploration, and a ''must read'' for all those interested in technology policy.' 'Albert N. Link and James Cunningham provide a fresh perspective on the role of government in the now massive U.S. science and technology enterprise with their new book, Advanced Introduction to Technology Policy. The book is a comprehensive introduction to the scale and scope of U.S. technology policy today and well worth adding to the bookshelves of advanced students and practitioners alike. The authors carefully recap the changes in the relationship between government and technology development since the Cold War era, chronicle the forces shaping the technology policy landscape, and explore the five prominent policy options they consider to be the foundation for U.S. technology policy today. Concluding with a roadmap of the current maze of technology policy mechanisms, they identify what they view as two missing elements in today’s toolbox for enhancing the nation’s innovation engine.'
