Everything about America has at one point or another been an experiment and a leap of faith. And one such experimentupon which all others depend for successis the US Patent System.</p><p><em>Why Has America Stopped Inventing?</em> takes a close look at why this experiment appears to be failing, and why America has all but stopped inventing. Our belief that we are the most innovative people on earth is mistaken. Statistics show that today we invent less than half of what our counterparts did a hundred and fifty years ago.</p><p>Where are the groundbreaking inventions comparable to those from the Industrial Revolution? Why have we been using the same mode of transportation for over a century? Why are we giving trillions to hostile foreign nations for imported oil when we have the talent to solve the nations energy crisis? We dont have these desperately needed technologies because regular Americans have given up on inventing.</p><p>This book explains why, comparing the experiences of Americas most successful nineteenth-century inventors with those of today and sharing fascinating historical anecdotes: Jefferson refusing to waste any more weekends examining patent applications; Whitney being robbed of his fortune while the Souths wealth exploded; the patent models that kept British soldiers from burning Washingtons last-standing federal building; the formation of Lincolns cabinet; and Selden crippling the entire US auto industry.
