Coming from an entrepreneurial background, I tend to lean towards the advantages of allowing high economic growth incentives for the people who invent or improve on things in the world. I think this is the best incentive structure ever conceived for promoting advancements.

This kind of a policy could serve to reboot the investors so they have to go back and invest in something new or competitive again, rather than horde it.
