Friedberg frames the anti-capitalism argument as compounding advantages eventually making it hard for others to compete effectively.
“The problem with compounding in any is it eventually eats all of the whatever is in the system or it makes it hard for others to compete in that system or participate effectively in that system. And that's the argument that's being made today against capitalism.”
Friedberg states Chinese scientific publications went from half of US output in 2015 to 50% more today across all categories.
“In twenty fifteen, ten years ago, papers published by Chinese research labs and major scientific journals were about half of The United States. Yeah. Now 50% more than The United States.”
