What drives technological progress and economic growth in the long run and on a global scale? And how will technological progress, economic growth, and the overall prosperity of human civilisation unfold in the future?<\/p><p>In this talk, the author will present his book which sheds new light on these big questions by incorporating findings from physics, anthropology, psychology, history, philosophy, and computer science in a brand-new theory of economic growth. Looking back across the millennia, it identifies five major technological revolutions which have transformed humankind\u2019s capacity to process energy and information\u2014the cognitive, agricultural, scientific, industrial, and digital revolutions\u2014and characterises the new avenues of economic development which they have opened while also exponentially accelerating growth.<\/p><p>About Jakub Growiec<\/p><p><strong><i>Jakub Growiec <\/i><\/strong><i>is<\/i><i>Full Professor and Head of Department of Quantitative Economics at SGH Warsaw School of Economics, Poland.
