Anton Howes is a historian of innovation. He writes a newsletter on the topic, Age of Invention, and is the author of Arts and Minds (Princeton University Press, 2020), a history of the Royal Society of Arts.


In this conversation we discuss:

  • Where does innovation come from?
  • The importance of "the improving mindset" in the history of economic growth
  • Why it feels like progress is slowing down and why that's wrong. And much more.
