W. Brian Arthur, a leading economist and complexity theorist, delves into the intricate ties between technology and the economy. He discusses how technological innovations are often driven by functional needs, not just creative sparks. The conversation also highlights how geographic concentration can boost creativity and collaboration, as seen in places like Silicon Valley. Arthur explores the future of economies shaped by automation and the pressing need to address wealth concentration and collective responsibility. His insights bridge complexity with real-world implications.
