Re: [OPE] Salary of engineers

Jurriaan B.: “The patterns of innovation and invention are susceptible to all sorts of ideological claims lacking solid evidential support.”   That’s true Jurriaan, but we can draw sound conclusions applying Praxeology, which consists in a verbal deduction from the fact that “men have ends and employ means to attain them”. Not only individualistic ends but also collective ends.   In fact, comprehensive statistical information could be confusing unless you taste it with Praxeology.   Regards,A.

You really have to study a particular industry in detail in order to understand about it. Mostly, there's data on patent and copyright applications (which may not be lodged by the actual inventor; many inventions do not get patented). The patterns of innovation and invention are susceptible to all sorts of ideological claims lacking solid evidential support. An additional problem is that these days people get called "engineer" although they haven't got a real engineering qualification. I don't talk about it really, because if I start talking about "patents and copyright" people get the wrong idea :-)   J.
