Why do nations fail? Why did Australia prosper? The rise and fall of economic ideas

Abstract

How many good ideas fail to take off? What are the essential elements that drive innovation and economic sustainability at the micro and macro level? Professor Örjan Sölvell explores the imperative to acquire buy-in from business, academia and governments to ensure economic success and a creative culture of innovation. Professor Sölvell joins the departure lounge in conversation with Tim Harcourt, The Airport Economist.
