Stephen Ezell, a senior analyst for the Information Technology and Innovation Foundation, talks to Global Policy's Kat Wall about his new book 'Innovation Economics', why America is falling behind in innovation, and what the US can do to rectify this situation. Stephen argues that the US can no longer rely on its historical record and, along with several policy prescriptions, must learn from other leaders in global innovation. Stephen also suggests how education plays a central role in fostering innovation in a globalised world.
Stephen has also written a column exploring these issues for Global Policy.
