Freedom to Innovate
How Innovation Works and Why It Flourishes in Freedom, by Matt Ridley, New York: Harper Collins, 2020, 406 pages, hardcover.
If you want to take a stimulating ride, complete with commentary delivered by an astute, enlightening conductor, How Innovation Works is your ticket.
The stops along the way include, among others, historical chapters on energy, transport, public health, food, communication and computers, and low technology. The innovations discussed span small and large topics — from slicing bread to effectively shrinking the world with international messages that take seconds — usually while fighting through practical obstacles and political barriers.
