    • Technology

Bayh-Dole helped the U.S. reverse its downward spiral into irrelevance and become the dominant force that it is today. The world economy is unraveling again, and Joe Allen is a firm believer in the power of the Bayh-Dole Act to turn things around for countries across the world. Not everybody agrees.
