\nIs American innovation plateauing? How can we encourage more
\nof it, both through public policy and culture? Should we be concerned that
\nChina\u2019s innovative capacities will overtake us? And what really motivates
\ninnovators to innovate, anyway? Matt Ridley recently joined me for an AEI webinar
\nto discuss these questions, and I\u2019m happy to present our conversation to you
\nall in podcast form.
