Re: Subsidies: Japan vs USA
I don't know exactly how one might unwind the interactions between government and industry. Additionally, another big piece of the picture is the relationship of the educational system to R&D. Universities (and Museum research departments) receive some funding from corporate and government (National Science Foundation, etc.) sources. So, in the end, R&D efforts in industrial societies are built upon complex interactions between the private sector, government and the university system.
