摘要

It is now commonplace to read about the dramatic changes in the funding of science that have occurred in the last quarter century. The headline story, which generally focuses on the United States, is one of a shift from public to private funding. While this can easily be overstated - even in the US, federal funding of total R&D has never actually decreased (at least in current dollars) and has remained by far the largest single source of finance for R&D in academic institutions - the greater importance of commercial funding is undeniable. In this context, fears about the effects of money on science have been steadily rising. Resnik's book seeks to examine these effects in detail and to propose possible solutions to the problems he identifies. In doing so, one of his main targets is the argument that science is an incorruptible pursuit of the truth. As he puts it (p. 5), it is "naieve to think that money has no influence on the behaviour of scientists."
