I am 34 y.o. Belarusian living in exile in Poland. FIRST time in my life I will see a peaceful transition of power. To opposition. After democratic elections. With 73% turnout. My message to you - value and protect your democracy. You can't even imagine what a miracle you have.

New research by David Audretsch and colleagues suggests that the decline of academic freedom over the last decade has harmed innovation, as measured by the quantity and quality of new patents. bit.ly/3BAsj07

How do you define: a public good that should be funded by donations or taxes vs. a product that should have a business model?
