The Elixir of Civilization
by Donald W. Braben · 2020 · 256 pages

Patrick Collison
Donald Braben examines how the rise of bureaucratic peer review and goal-oriented funding models have stifled transformative scientific discovery since the 1970s. Drawing on his experience leading British Petroleum's Venture Research program, he proposes a framework to identify and support radical researchers by granting them total autonomy.
