César Hidalgo
Physicist, Economist and Author of Infinite Alphabet
César led the MIT Collective Learning Group for nine years, then founded the European Center for Collective Learning, with hubs in Toulouse and Budapest. In his latest book, The Infinite Alphabet, he explores the hidden laws that govern how knowledge is created, combined, and lost across societies. His work shows why some cities, companies, and countries keep innovating while others stall, focusing on collective learning rather than individual genius. He turns complex systems into clear, intuitive stories about how knowledge shapes economies, technology, and our shared future.
