Technology Innovation

Innovation is the main event of the modern age, the reason we experience both dramatic improvements in our living standards and unsettling changes in our society.

Matt Ridley argues that we need to see innovation as an incremental, bottom-up, fortuitous process that happens as a direct result of the human habit of exchange, rather than an orderly, top-down process developing according to a plan.

In August 1968 NASA made a bold decision: In just 16 weeks, the United States would launch humankind's first flight to the moon.
