With regard to the first I have already indicated the usefulness of studies of inequality of income and saving, and such studies might also throw some ' • light on the feasibility of policy measures designed to reduce inequality. The second alternative is linked up with the wider question of technology policy. Kaleck |/in his writings on the trend regarded innovations as the main stimulus to growth. This justifies looking at technology policy as a possible instrument for the stimulation of investment. Technology policy is based on the conviction that the technical development can be influenced according to the desiderata of public policy such as environmental aims, preference for saving of material and energy rather than saving of labour, desirable life styles, working and soeial conditions etc. The national struggle for markets need not be the prime aim, although it will be legitimatefor countries with chronic balance of payments deficits.

This corresponds very much to Keynesian thinking: We can expect results from better information of entrepreneurs and from greater confidence
