What is Permissionless Innovation : the Continuing Case for Comprehensive Technological Freedom about?

What policy vision will govern the future of technological innovation? Will innovators be forced to constantly 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 Permissionless Innovation: The Continuing Case for Comprehensive Technological Freedom, Adam Thierer argues that if the former disposition (Òthe precautionary principleÓ) trumps the latter (Òpermissionless innovationÓ), 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 Òprecautionary principleÓ reasoning, it poses a serious threat to technological progress, economic entrepreneurialism, and long-run prosperity. By contrast, Òpermissionless innovationÓ has been the secret sauce that 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.
