Well, the previous two posts give a fairly good picture of how the U.S. federal government funds research (note that we did not examine state and local funding, nor private sector funding of R&D, nor defense funding, for that matter).
I feel satisfied that I know what's happening in the U.S. But my real frustration is that you, dear reader (icy ironic tone, please) will quite reasonably expect me to find this out for the world.
But while it only took 7 hours to compile the information for the U.S. (due to better and more available statistics), it will take weeks to get a picture of what's happening in the world.
I think I'll put a tip jar on this blog.
