Market exposure of the university is not in itself a tenable policy aim and universities must consolidate their traditional ethical and social dimensions of knowledge in order to enhance the overall diversification and differentiation of knowledge production. Much of Lundvall’s case depends upon drawing a distinction between knowledge and information. He argues that the original argument for public financing of research given by economists (Nelson 1959; Arrow 1962) depended upon an account of knowledge production as ‘information’ as something easily copied and reproduced at marginal cost.

Introduction Ludwig Wittgenstein, one of the greatest philosophers of the twentieth century, published only one book during his lifetime, a small one by most standards, being less than 70 pages. He published the Tractatus LogicoPhilosophicus with the help of his friends: Russell wrote the foreword, Ogden provided the translation, and Keynes helped with the publisher. Yet the Tractatus had a dramatic effect on twentieth-century philosophy as a source of inspiration for the Vienna school that established logical empiricism and dominated Anglo-American philosophy thereafter.
