Episode notes

CNN's John Sutter sits down with the co-founder of stripe to talk about his own story. He says he believes there must be many more people like him, but who didn't achieve their potential. The company was founded by Paul graham and Peter teal because they were willing to place a bet that it would work. They are now working on creating an open source programming language called lisp.

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.
