Introduction I recently finished reading the book: âHow Innovation Works: And Why It Flourishes in Freedomâ by Matt Ridley. The book was published less than a year ago in May 2020, and it is a short read of fewer than four hundred pages.

I was profoundly influenced by the introduction of the book I got in the podcast. ...

It fits into the genre non-fiction, psychology and computer science. The book is written lucidly. If you have a background in computer science, then this book is easy to follow.
