Sex, science and profits
Author: Kealey, Terence

"Sex, Science and Profits" ranges across history to explore the nature of science, economics and philosophy. Starting with the Neolithic discovery of tools, this book explains the role of concubines in Ancient Egypt and the emergence of the Portuguese as Europe’s premier seafaring explorers, questions the usefulness of patents, and describes how the race for technological progress plays out between nations, governments and corporations."
