Why Information Grows: The Evolution of Order, from Atoms to Economies by César A. Hidalgo is a nonfiction work of economic theory and interdisciplinary science. It argues that economic growth is not best understood only through money, institutions, or output, but through the accumulation of information understood as physical order. Hidalgo draws on economics, physics, information theory, and network thinking to explain why some societies are able to create increasingly complex products and systems while others remain limited. The book is especially concerned with how knowledge becomes embedded in material things, from DNA and tools to machines and modern industrial products. Rather than treating information as abstract data, it presents it as something that must be stored, maintained, and coordinated in the real world. The result is a broad theory of development that connects the growth of order in nature to the growth of productive capacity in economies.
