According to bestselling author Matt Ridley, they’re all proof that the best things in life, from beauty to innovation, emerge through decentralized exchange, not top-down design.

In this episode of the Liberty Ventures Podcast, Matt joins Alexander McCobin to discuss his upcoming book Birds, Sex and Beauty, and why sexual selection may be the key to understanding not only evolution, but also human creativity and intelligence.

Matt connects biology to business, arguing that innovation happens when ideas mix, a process he calls “ideas having sex.” From the origins of the pill camera to the future of AI, Matt gives a masterclass in how freedom, collaboration, and capitalism drive human progress.
