In shakespeare's time, there were pobly a hundred more who said it did not get acceptd the same kind of opportunities. That's somthing we think a lot about stripe. It's why we care as much about local expansion. And even why stripe is invested in in some sort of semi adjacent companies like pioneer or lamde school efforts such as this.

Patrick Collison, co-founder and CEO of Stripe, talks with EconTalk host Russ Roberts about the pace of innovation. Collison argues that despite enormous increases in the numbers of scientists and researchers, the pace of progress in scientific and technological understanding does not seem to be increasing accordingly. The conversation looks at the challenge of measuring innovation and whether the pace of innovation should be a matter of concern and if so, what might be done about it.
