While creative destruction and disruptive innovation change the entrepreneurial landscape; regulation – especially regulation of sectorial markets and competition regulation – can delay this change or even bring it to a halt. Uber plays an active role between these two forces: first as an agent of creative destruction and then possibly in championing regulation on its own terms. Grounded in a particular understanding of the economic concept of the market as a series of processes, this book explores the implications of creative destruction, competition regulation and the role that businesses play. Instead of discussing these relations in a purely abstract manner, this book uses Uber as a case study.

Leading social scientists explore pressing issues--monopoly and inequality, growth and innovation, climate change and fraying social safety nets--through the lens of creative destruction. Far more than a theory of capitalist dynamics, creative destruction proves an important idea for illuminating a wide range of social and political challenges.

Innovation is a process built by many hands and its definition makes it very clear that innovation is linked to practice, bringing benefits to something or someone. Education and innovation are a duo that is still going strong, but has a lot to gain. After all, being able to think about education and the teaching and learning process through the lens of "what can I do differently?" is an opportunity to bring new ideas to a space that inspires this kind of attention and care. Being in a society that increasingly consumes technologies, develops new tools, where information doubles in size every 12 hours, the creation of automation resources grows by leaps and bounds, in short, innovation as a product, service and process is everywhere, demands a different need from us educators. That's why talking about education and innovation together, thinking practically, about how all this can change the way we act, is a subject that arises with a certain urgency. That's why this book was written for you who want to understand not only what innovation in education is, but also want to learn about methods we can use, see real examples of these methods applied, and plan for change. Because by the end of this chat, you'll certainly be out of the box.
