One is could it be used to help the economy, make everybody
-
better off?
-
If a social planner was in charge of things and the Chinese
-
invented this new technology, or some American in Alaska
-
invented this new technology should the government use the
-
technology and could it use the technology to make everybody
-
better off, and the answer to that is no.
-
And then the answer to a second question is--suppose the guy in
-
Alaska discovered it himself.
-
He couldn't care less about the Pareto improvement and helping
-
other guys or the American planners or anything,
-
he just wanted to make a profit for himself.
