Hidalgo argues information is physical and grows when embedded in networks of people and firms. Economic development is about a society's capacity to compute, store, and recombine practical knowledge.
The books Cesar Hidalgo references, cites, and recommends most frequently.
by Richard Dawkins
Dawkins reframes evolution from the organism's perspective to the gene's. Bodies are survival machines built by genes competing to replicate - a view that transformed modern biology.
by Charles Darwin
Darwin lays out the evidence that species evolve through natural selection, where small heritable variations accumulate over generations. The theory unified biology and changed how we understand life.
