| Abstract: | In Why Information Grows: The Evolution of Order, from Atoms to Economies, César Hidalgo presents a compelling argument for an information-centric view of life, society, and the economy. His ambitious aim is to establish a universal theory of information that can be applied to all things, from the artificial and inanimate to the natural and organic, and to all levels and scales, from atoms to economies. Life, according to Hidalgo, is all about information. He states that we spend our lives “moving around and processing information, helping information grow while interacting in a social [and economic] context” [excerpt] |
