Attempting to put knowledge behind fences and creating gates and gatekeepers is not only illiberal but anti-liberal. <br /><br />Knowledge can remade rivalrous and excludable through application, e.g., using knowledge to develop proprietary products and issuing patents, but the knowledge itself, especially scientific knowledge, is non-rival and non-exclusive. <br />Expression and design can be copyrighted, trademarked or patented, but not knowledge. This is a basic principle of liberalism.<br /><br />Knowledge is different from know-how. Know-how can be made rivalrous and excludable, e.g., proprietary processes and intellectual property as private property, without being illiberal. Non-disclosure and non-competition agreements are also permitted.<br /><br />But I don't think that the federal government or state governments can legislate against the free exchange of knowledge itself.<br /><br />It seems that China doesn't have enough qualified STEM teachers yet. This is basic and advanced knowledge for the lower and higher grades, and many Chinese students learn English. Opportunity beckons.<br /><br />Tom Hickeyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08454222098667643650noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2761684730989137546.post-15484887758869953342016-12-28T19:02:28.668-05:002016-12-28T19:02:28.668-05:00South Africa exports nurses to the United States. ...South Africa exports nurses to the United States.
