“There is an honest trade-off between labour market protection and learning. If you have an extremely static labour market—like the high protection laws in France or Spain—you get stability, but you sacrifice learning. You pay a 'learning cost' for that 'stability dividend.'”
— César Hidalgo
Physicist & Director of MIT Media Lab Connection Science group
