17:45 A New Equation for Wealth
The real wealth of individuals, companies, and nations has remained stubbornly difficult to define or measure in a quantitatively rigorous way. In this talk, Dr. Wissner-Gross will introduce a remarkable new information-theoretic framework based on future freedom of action that is capable of reproducing key wealth-creating human activities such as tool use, social cooperation, and financial trading. This new approach promotes wealth to a first-class physical quantity, alongside mass, length, and time.
