The Wisdom of Crowds: Why the Many Are Smarter Than the Few and How Collective Wisdom Shapes Business, Economies, Societies and Nations Audiobook (Free)

Within this fascinating publication, New Yorker business columnist James Surowiecki explores a deceptively simple idea: Large groups of people are smarter than an elite few, no matter how brilliant-better at solving problems, fostering innovation, coming to wise decisions, even predicting the near future.

With boundless erudition and in delightfully very clear prose, Surowiecki ranges across areas as diverse as well-known culture, mindset, ant biology, behavioral economics, artificial cleverness, military history, and politics to show how this basic idea offers essential lessons for how exactly we live our lives, select our leaders, run our businesses, and think about our world.
