Will innovators be forced to seek the blessing of public officials before they develop and deploy new devices and services, or will they be generally left free to experiment with new technologies and business models?

In this book, Adam Thierer argues that if the former disposition, “the precautionary principle,” trumps the latter, “permissionless innovation,” the result will be fewer services, lower-quality goods, higher prices, diminished economic growth, and a decline in the overall standard of living.

When public policy is shaped by “precautionary principle” reasoning, it poses a serious threat to technological progress, economic entrepreneurialism, and long-run prosperity. By contrast, permissionless innovation has fueled the success of the Internet and much of the modern tech economy in recent years, and it is set to power the next great industrial revolution—if we let it.

This new edition includes . . .

Expanded case studies of major technological innovations, including commercial drones, driverless cars, 3-D printing, virtual reality, the Internet of Things, and more
A deeper exploration of modern tech critics and their rationales for holding back technological innovation
New discussion of “global innovation arbitrage”—that is, the ways in which innovators are now able to move around the globe in search of more hospitable regulatory environments
An exploration of how the United States and Europe took different approaches to innovation policy and the results
A more detailed look at concerns about economic disruptions associated with new technologies, such as robotics and automated systems
An expanded policy recommendations section

How Do I Return A Kindle Book?

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on November 7, 2014

Verified Purchase

Very disappointed. Every chapter is the same as the previous one. It's better to let innovation proceed unimpeded and then regulate instead of shoot first, aim later. Each chapter then followed up with pages of supporting material for you to research on your own. If that's what I wanted to do, I wouldn't have purchased the book in the first place. I only read the whole thing because I paid for it, even though I knew how it was going to end - It's better to let innovation proceed unimpeded and then regulate instead of shoot first, aim later.

This is an excellent analysis of the relationships between technological innovation and freedom

This is an excellent analysis of the relationships between technological innovation and freedom. It reveals the complex co-evolution between technology and the expansion of human liberties. The book charts a new path for understanding the role of technology in socio-economic evolution.

Greatly great book. The best book.

Reviewed in Australia 🇦🇺 on March 11, 2017

Verified Purchase

Permissionless innovation is an approach to technology and innovation regulation. It suggests that if you can prentice the future, and all of the uses and applications of a new technology, and to who and how, and can understand all the trade offs and externalities positive and negative, then go ahead and regulate. But if you feel that you might not be able to do that - because of the knowledge problem- then the most effective and ethically responsible policy setting is permissionless innovation. Thierer explains why. Technology regulation is hard, but most of it is actually just stupid. It harms the people it's meant to protect, and minimises new discovery. It doesn't have to be that way
