Matt Ridley is one of my favourite non-fiction writers. His books “The Rational Optimist” and “The Evolution of Everything” are great examples of rationality and critical thinking. His writing is clear and engaging, and he tackles issues from first principles.

“How Innovation Works” is Ridley’s latest gem. It makes a strong case for why innovation thrives in free and decentralised environments. It’s fantastically researched and full of fascinating stories. (For example, to my surprise, I learned that coffee was once considered a subversive free speech technology .)

A must-read!
