Uncaging Animal Spirits collects all of Landau's major papers from
the last thirty years, covering his scientific discoveries, his
views on innovation and entrepreneurship, his reflections on his
own field of chemical engineering, and his research on the global
marketplace, and on the relation of technology, innovation, and the
economy. Chemical engineering has been one of the major high-tech
growth industries of the post-World War II period, and one of the
few in which U.S. companies have retained an international
advantage over their competitors. As an engineer and entrepreneur,
Ralph Landau played a large role in this success story. Uncaging
Animal Spirits collects all of Landau's major papers from the last
thirty years, covering his scientific discoveries, his views on
innovation and entrepreneurship, his reflections on his own field
of chemical engineering, and his research on the global
marketplace, and on the relation of technology, innovation, and the
economy. The emphasis throughout is on Landau's view of the status
of entrepreneurship in the United States, as tempered by his
experience in an international business and his many attempts to
get the federal government to think seriously about its role in
creating a reasonable playing field for entrepreneurs. As Landau
developed his business, he became increasingly concerned about the
extent to which government officials misunderstood (or didn't care
about) the needs of technology-based industries and the
relationship between technology and economic growth. When he sold
his company in the early 1980s, Landau took on the task of
educating himself in economic theory and educating economists,
policy makers, and the government about this crucial relationship.
He has established centers at Stanford and Harvard to focus
attention on issues of technology and the economy.
