Abstract

Diversity and inclusion are addressed within the economics of innovation in an evolutive perspective, by focusing a specific theme (access to information) along the diagonal line between the Gutenberg printing and the network digital technologies. Technology and the market modify the trade-off between diversity and inclusion and the degree of the system’s variety as well. In the transition from the analogic space (pluralism of standards, intermediaries, markets) to the network digital space (inclusive standardized ecosystems, oligopoly of technological intermediaries) variety of access to information has increased, but it is lower than the potential variety.
