Is there something that cause this waste of talents?
Like regulations that make financial trading more rewarding that
building things.
What regulations can we take away that will return people from financial
to R&D?
If in a free market they were anyway requested by the financial firms
and paid enough to take them away from the R&D, they would satisfy a
real need. If they are there only because the regulations make the
financial sector more rewarding, then we are subsiding the financials
sector.
