Abstract
Since the 18th century, economists have recognized that absent government intervention, market forces determine the pricing and ultimate fate of technologies. Our contention is that the “hidden hand” explains a series of market failures impacting products in the field of software reliability. If reliability solutions are to reach mainstream developers, greater attention must be paid to market economics and drivers.
