Priceless Knowledge? offers an interesting discussion of the interaction between science and technology. Rescher reminds us that science research is not an isolated undertaking but bound to certain external factors. Among these factors, economic cost has come to play an increasingly important role.

Nicholas Rescher has again demonstrated his mastery of the cost/benefit economics of scientific research. The book is a must read for anyone needing to be convinced that scientific research is an economic bargain.
