Deu na Nature

Quanto ao papel do Estado, segue o maior problema, na minha opinião, tomando um trecho do texto mandado pelo colega Dr. Quispe Marquez (Viva los Mineros):

Early in its tenure, Lula's administration made it legal for the government to fund research by private companies, and afforded tax breaks to firms that invest in innovation. But the number of patented inventions coming out of Brazil has risen only slightly since these measures were passed. "The problem is that company directors have the option of putting money in the hands of their heads of finance to generate a return in the financial markets, or in those of their head of research and development, which is risky and expensive," says Eduardo Viotti of Columbia University in New York, who advises the Brazilian senate on science policy. "In the past, at least, it has seemed less risky to them to bet on the financial markets."

Enquanto os juros permanecerem nesses patamares, não há investimento que vá para a frente, e os juros não recuarão enquanto o governo ficar fazendo dívida para ficar "forte" e enriquecendo os rentistas.
