Innovate on Purpose: Voting Against Innovation? Really?
Bruce Nussbaum argues that the recent Supreme Court ruling on campaign finance law locks in advantages to large corporations and could lead to these organizations regulating or legislating new innovation or ideas out of existence. However, the author disagrees and believes that corporations have competing interests and different goals, which prevents them from working in lockstep. Moreover, the capability for anyone to complain and build social networks will only grow, making it hard for any infringement of our needs to go unnoticed. Additionally, large corporations cannot regulate their way around competitors as it would require them to eliminate an entire generation of entrepreneurs and blockades against good ideas and products from other countries.
