Topic

How Innovation Works: And Why It Flourishes in Freedom, with Matt Ridley

Description

Innovation is the main cause of the great enrichment of the world in recent centuries and the doubling of average human lifespan. Yet it's a phenomenon that nobody fully understands. Why does it happen when and where it does? In this talk Viscount Ridley will argue that we need to see innovation as an emergent, serendipitous, evolutionary and collaborative process resulting from the free exchange of goods and services, rather than a consequence of deliberate planning.

This webinar will include a 30-minute presentation followed by a 15-minute question and answer period where attendees will have the opportunity to ask questions directly to the presenter.

Upon completion of the webinar, attendees who complete the follow-up survey will receive a completion certificate that can be used to bolster their professional portfolio or LinkedIn profile, a $10 Amazon gift card to purchase books, and a chance to win one of our $25 Uber Eats gift cards.
