“The First Freedoms and America’s Culture of Innovation explores how the triangulation of the First Freedoms, open and competitive marketplace, and global brain-and-muscle-inflow into the Unites States generates spaces for Americans to become constant tinkerers, innovators, and entrepreneurs. Innovation at the highest level is a form of creative transgression that generates entrepreneurial possibilities and opens up opportunities that make up the aspirational society.  If history has a pattern of decline and fall, the First Amendment is the monkey wrench that breaks the pattern.”
