En este libro, Matt Ridley explora la historia de la innovación y cómo debemos cambiar nuestra forma de pensar sobre ella. Argumenta que la innovación es un proceso incremental, fortuito y de abajo hacia arriba que surge del intercambio humano, en lugar de un proceso ordenado y planificado desde arriba. A través de ejemplos que van desde las máquinas de vapor hasta los motores de búsqueda, Ridley muestra cómo la innovación transforma nuestras vidas y sociedades, y cómo los políticos pueden tanto fomentarla como obstaculizarla. Un análisis fascinante sobre el motor del progreso humano y cómo podemos evitar una posible 'hambruna de innovación'.
Matthew White Ridley, 5th Viscount Ridley, commonly known as Matt Ridley, is a British science writer, journalist and businessman. He writes on science, the environment and economics, and has been a regular contributor to The Times newspaper. Ridley was chairman of the UK bank Northern Rock from 2004 to 2007, during which period it experienced the first run on a British bank in 130 years. He resigned, and the bank was bailed out by the UK government; this led to its nationalisation.
