Fantastic conversation. The points regarding a stagnation of innovation are great. I believe we are being held back by protectionist forces and the suppression of ideas. The ability to overcome this is our great challenge ahead

I’m here from Martin North, walk the world.
Great conversation, except I’m not so optimistic about the big corporates and their affect on the rest of the world, but this conversation was uplifting.

You cite quit a bit of reading, that ultimately I'd like to undertake. Could you possibly post a listing of the citations or references in the description? It'd make it easier for us to study up on the concepts you redress by reading the same materials you're referencing.

Government businesses are monopolies that never go away, and stifle all innovation... and private sector monopolies can only stifle disruptive start ups through government
