How progress ends: technology, innovation, and the fate of nations
Dr. Carl Benedikt Frey, an Oxford economist and author, explores the uneven nature of technological progress. He argues that success hinges on geography, culture, and institutions. Professor Michael Storper provides insights on the importance of matching institutional frameworks to innovation stages, while Jane Gingrich highlights the political implications of innovation-related inequality. The trio also discusses the transformative potential of AI, state capacity, and the need for new ideas, offering a rich analysis of how societies can foster or hinder progress.
