THE MOTTO IS "IN KEK WE TRUST"
During the space race in the 60's NASA spent millions developing a pen that worked in 0 g. The Russians on a tighter budget innovatively used a pencil. Clearly, market forces since the Burgas have led to investment in ways to make more money and knowledge is one of the main ways. The commodities of the 21st Century are Food, Power, Workforce and Scientific knowledge, far more so than raw materials in many ways although these are the ultimate limiting factor, which is why climate change is such a problem for market expansion based on a growing population. Any ****ing idiot knows all that.
Innovation comes with creativity, and creativity comes after all of Maslow's hierarchy of needs have been met.
It has nothing to do with economic models in itself. It's about the overall state of the people. Socialist Scandinavian countries have healthy levels of entrepreneurship while dirt poor "capitalist" countries like Yemen don't.
It's hard to be innovative when you're struggling to live safely, feed yourself, etc.
Scandanavian Countries follow the Nordic Model, which whilst having things like welfare states are economically capitalist Kurk, you must know that with your Meth business.
Doesn't sound like it'd be too good for innovation.
Were there any useful innovations to come out of purely socialist countries? Purely socialist. So do not mention nordic countries.
Besides that killer sauce Venezuela made for their rabbit nuggets,what else was there?

I don't think it necessarily does. Truly creative and innovative people are going to be creative and innovative regardless. Hell China is full blown communist and they're like 20 on that list, which isn't too bad. They have a growing film industry and some great artists.
Socialism tends to kill everything sooner or later.
