The Shortest History of Innovation

From the bestselling author of <How Economics Shape Our World, a brisk history of how innovation is cultivated and its influence on everything from art to AI

Almost every corner of our modern lives is shaped and improved by innovation, yet we rarely pause to notice it or appreciate its influence. Someone had to invent the wheel—not to mention alphabets and printing presses, electromagnetism and synthetic dyes.

Andrew Leigh dispels the myth of the lone genius and unveils the three elements that really drive innovation: tinkering, teams, and trade. From the earliest boomerang to the rise of the smartphone, this book examines hotbeds of creativity, the forces that sometimes suppress them, and the surprising, inspiring ways that ideas can break through obstacles and evolve.

The result is a lively, compact guide to the many engines powering progress from ancient times to the present day.
