Matt Ridley demolishes conventional wisdom that the turning points in history, the great innovations of our time, stem from top down organisations. No matter whether that is government, business or academia. Instead, he argues that these revolutions start from the bottom up, with individuals driving the change and technology on which we all are now reliant. This evolutionary view is contained within his 'trilogy' of works 'The Rational Optimist" (2010), "The Evolution of Everything" (2015) and "How Innovation works" (2020).
