A Few Critical Comments to the Paper by Marek Loužek: The Economic Approach to Science

Abstract

The paper was devoted to a new, modish theory explaining what the science really is that it is a collection of human activities oriented on selling new ideas and/or personalities of scientists in order to produce a maximal (financial) profit, i.e. the science is in fact a branch of market economy (or at least it behaves as the market economy).
