César Hidalgo on Why Information Grows
Вставка

- César visits the RSA to present a new view of the relationship between individual and collective knowledge, linking information theory, economics and biology to explain the deep evolution of social and economic systems.
In a radical rethink of what an economy is, one of WIRED magazine’s 50 People Who Could Change the World, César Hidalgo argues that it is the measure of a nation’s cultural complexity - the nexus of people, ideas and invention - rather than its GDP or per-capita income, that explains the success or failure of its economic performance. To understand the growth of economies, Hidalgo argues, we first need to understand the growth of order itself.

The book of César Hidalgo is just amazing
Loved his talk and enjoyed it very much
Very good summary of the book "why information grows" that I just bought and read...
Nice to see William Pye's water sculpture being used to demonstrate entropy
Great video
I don´t know if he realizes, but he basically said we should send (neoclassical) microeconomics textbooks to the trash... I like it.
He could have summarized that in a few sentences. But good point on the value of information and its propensity give value in form and the need of collaboration to break boundaries.
Genius
His argument could be extended to the idea of that multi ethnic/cultural societies have lower firmbyte capacity as it would play a role in social network size and maybe trust. Then should cultural integration/assimilation be seen as playing a role in economic policy? Or just give into the far right emphasis on limiting immigration?
Did I just watch the new kantianism? Wow!
This guy is too enthusiastic, it's tiring. Is this a religion or something?

Enthusiastic? He's simply explaining some interesting insights as though he cares about them.
He's just chilean. We talk fast.
