Matt Ridley on the Evolution of Money (among other things)
The gang at Cato’s Center for Monetary and Financial Alternatives is thrilled to report that Matt Ridley will visit Cato tomorrow to discuss his new book The Evolution of Everything.
Ridley is the author of numerous best-selling (and excellent) books on science and society. We especially like his 2010 book, The Rational Optimist, How Prosperity Evolves, for which he won the Manhattan Institute’s prestigious Hayek prize. In that work, Ridley draws on both the biological theory of evolution, and the theories of specialization and trade made famous by Adam Smith, to argue that human societies possess a natural tendency to become both more economically specialized and more prosperous.
