One of the first value systems discussed in "Culture and innovation" is the relationship between culture and history. According to comrade Pham Van Dong, culture plays an extremely important role in the movement and development of human social history. Culture is the launching pad that takes people from the "kingdom of necessity" to the "kingdom of freedom". And with comrade Pham Van Dong, "innovation is a cause of culture and intelligence. Innovation in developing a market economy... is also a cultural and intellectual issue."
