Podcast: Die ekonomie minuut
Episode: Universities, research, and economic growth
Description: Johan Fourie wrote a good piece in his newsletter yesterday about the challenges facing universities. Those challenges are ideological, political, financial and technological in nature. But aren't universities also "too big to fail"? They do the research that is important for innovation and innovation is important for economic growth. New research from the US makes one wonder about that too.
