>"There is a misconception that innovation comes mainly from the private sector. Its the opposite: innovation comes from the public sector."

Is there any evidence for this other than opinion pieces?

Asking sincerely.

I see arguments for both sides being the source of most innovation, but haven't seen real, valid, data-driven evidence. Granted, I haven't looked much. I have my own opinion, but want more evidence, for both arguments.

Scottish Gaelic has been proclaimed dying for as long as I remember. Despite my name being Gaelic (I am Scottish), the amount of "public" (tax) money that has been poured into the language by our devolved government (>£28 million/year) is appauling. The phrase "that which is falling should also be pushed" comes to mind.
