The Infinite Alphabet - And the Laws of Knowledge

Knowledge is the secret to the wealth of nations. But to understand it, we must accept that it is not a single thing, but an ever-growing tapestry of unique ideas, experiences and received wisdom. An Infinite Alphabet that we are only beginning to fathom.

Cesar A. Hidalgo, a world-renowned scholar for his work on economic complexity, will walk you through the ''three laws'' and the many principles that govern how knowledge grows, moves, and decays. By the end of this journey, you will understand why knowledge grows exponentially in the electronics industry and what mechanisms govern its diffusion across geographic borders, social networks, and professional boundaries.

Together these principles will teach you how knowledge shapes the world.<>
