Why information grows : the evolution of order, from atoms to economies
Hidalgo, César A., 1979-2016
Books
While economists often turn to measures like GDP or per-capita income, César Hidalgo turns to information theory to explain the success or failure of a country's economic performance. Through a radical rethinking of what the economy is, he shows that natural constraints in our ability to accumulate knowledge, know-how and information explain the evolution of social and economic complexity.
