Join physicist, professor at the Toulouse School of Economics, and author César A. Hidalgo as he discusses his new book The Infinite Alphabet – a brilliant book which unravels the laws describing the growth and diffusion of knowledge by taking you from a failed attempt to build a city of knowledge in Ecuador to the growth of China’s innovation economy.
César A. Hidalgo, a world-renowned scholar for his work on economic complexity, will walk you through the “three laws” and the many principles that govern how knowledge grows, moves, and decays. By the end of this journey, you will understand why knowledge grows exponentially in the electronics industry and what mechanisms govern its diffusion across geographic borders, social networks, and professional boundaries.
He will be in conversation with world renowned economist Prof Dame Diane Coyle.
