Spirit of Research Replaces Lone Inventor in America
The essay argues that modern invention relies on team research funded by large budgets, not solitary attic tinkering. It cites a 1947 research budget of $2,000,000 for a firm employing about 8,000, plus DuPont’s $11 years of nylon work costing $1,031,000,000. It celebrates free enterprise and the high wages and living standards it enables.
