Thanks for telling it better than I could have! But if you could expand on your last sentence, what instances in history are you referring to? Dot com boom? Great depression?

I was thinking more about dictatorships that block the entry of outside knowledge into the population for example, because its not useful to their goals (which is a particular shape of what economic value is for them). But you dont have to go that far away, you can just see the difference between democratic cultures that value at different levels those fields. In the end "economic value" is less objective than what it seams.
