What does it take for a society to be able to innovate? The question is crucial today when an increasing share of world patents are taken out by countries such as Japan, South Korea and China, which have limited energy resources and cultures very different from those in the West. However, most previous studies of the beginnings of industrialization have focused on the resources and institutions of Britain alone. As a result, they have missed the lessons to be learned from casting the net more widely so as to examine all regions of the North-Atlantic community. This book pinpoints the surprising differences between innovating and non-innovating regions. Protection of property rights, a practical ideology and abundant resources were not sufficient to spark accelerated innovation. The key to the Industrial Revolution, this study shows through case studies and rigorous verification, was the effect of expanding social networks on people’s willingness to cooperate. Language standardization permitted the widening of circles of cooperation to encompass individuals with increasingly different sets of knowledge. The result was an unprecedented burst of what some linguists have called “double-scope blending” – the integration of hitherto unrelated concepts to create something new. These findings have important implications for corporate and government policy.

'I am absurdly excited for this book' Caroline Criado Perez Why did it take us 5,000 years to attach wheels to a suitcase? How did bras take us to the moon? And what would the world be like if we listened to women? Bestselling author Katrine Marçal reveals the shocking ways our deeply ingrained ideas about gender continue to hold us back. Every day, extraordinary inventions and innovative ideas are side-lined in a world that remains subservient to men But it doesn't have to be this way. From the beginning of time, women have been pivotal to our society, offering ingenious solutions to some of our most vexing problems. More recently, it is women who have transformed the way we shop online, revolutionised the lives of disabled people and put the climate crisis at the top of the agenda. Despite these successes, we still fail to find and fund the game-changing ideas that could alter the future of our planet, giving just 3% of venture capital to female founders. Instead, ingrained ideas about men and women continue to shape our economic decisions; favouring men and leading us to the same tired set of solutions. For too long we have underestimated the consequences of sexism in our economy, and the way it holds all of us - women and men - back. Katrine Marcal's blistering critique sets the record straight and shows how, in a time of crisis, the ingenuity and intelligence of women is that very thing that can save us.

The five women in this book are all amazing matriarchs because they’re mothers of invention. You may not have heard of these tech pioneers, but their incredible discoveries changed the world. Hedy Lamarr, once only recognized for her movie-star talent and glamor, is now acknowledged as the mother of WiFi and Bluetooth technology. Adele Goldstine wrote the very first complete manual for an electronic computer, laying the foundations for modern electronic computing. Katherine Johnson used her mathematical genius to calculate the trajectories of spaceships, ensuring the safety and success of NASA’s space missions to the Moon and beyond. Margaret Hamilton was the groundbreaking computer programmer whose expertise and forward-thinking made the very first Moon landing possible. Karen Sparck Jones was the innovative language theorist and programmer who came up with the theories that led to computers being able to understand human language. In the mid-twentieth century, these female creators weren’t widely acknowledged. Now, you can read about their lives and discoveries in Mothers of Invention, the first in a series of books about Amazing Matriarchs! Aimed at child readers of 8 to 12 years old – but a fantastic read for any age – the stories of these awesome women will engage and inspire any budding tech pioneer!
