IPPR report Oceans of Innovation - 9

"In many people's minds innovation, invention, and great creative achievements are both individual and momentary flashes of inspiration" - I think I subscribe to this view, the flashes of inspiration occurring when unexpected connections between disparate pieces of information are made in a well-educated mind.

"Analysis of the places where innovation has occurred and where it has not" - one thinks of the city states of ancient Greece where you had the diversity of the independent cities within the cultural homogeneity of Greek culture.
