The Heartland Institute’s Tim Benson is joined by Matt Ridley to discuss his book, How Innovation Works: And Why It Flourishes in Freedom. They talk about this history of innovation, going all the way back to prehistory, and then touch on what Ridley considers innovation’s “essentials.” They also chat about how innovation is a gradual, “bottom-up” phenomenon, how science isn’t always the parent of innovation, and what the United States and Europe need to do better to unleash their full innovative potential.
