Agreed, but I wouldn't go as far as to tell that a capacity to get mysteries resolved is a condition sine qua no for economic take off. It was not the scientists of the Max Planck Institut who make Germany take off. It was artisans used to make cuckoo watches and music boxes that were transformed in telex machines, machine tools' makers, car makers that propelled Germany up. Nor was the University of Tokyo responsible for Japan development. It was the guys who could get a copy of a machine tool and make a cheaper and better product. The guy would come back from a western trade fair, would put the shop floor workers around him and would tell him what they should to get the contraption ready. Basic science is not important for a country to take off. It is all thetre in my book project in my PC at home. Will post this evening. Brazil is the only country in the southern heminsphere to participate in the genome project. I don't see this as an advantage. Discovering small and smaller atomic particles is uselless as is accelerating them around a super-collider.
