After expanding steadily for centuries, science is reaching its
limits to growth. We can no longer afford the ever increasing cost
of exploring ever wider research opportunities. In the competition
for resources, science is becoming much more tightly organised. A
radical, pervasive and permanent structural change is taking place.
It already affects the whole research system, from everyday
laboratory life to national budgets. The scientific enterprise
cannot avoid fundamental change, but excessive managerial
insistence on accountability, evaluation, 'priority setting', etc.
can be very inhospitable to expertise, innovation, criticism and
creativity. Can the research system be reshaped without losing many
features that have made science so productive? This trenchant
analysis of a deep-rooted historical process does not assume any
technical knowledge of the natural sciences, their history,
philosophy, sociology or politics. It is addressed to everybody who
is concerned about the future of science and its place in society.
