Loonshots: How to Nurture the Crazy Ideas That Win Wars, Cure Diseases, and Transform Industries
Juane Trippe for aviation, Edward Land for Polaroid - both did research for their projects using New York public Library.
Loonshots deals with 'The Needham' question. Why did the renaissance happen in England and not elsewhere, even though there was similar talent in other parts of the world.If you have done phase theory of things, then you'll find the transition easier to understand from underdogs to champions.
What does it take for an idea to be nurtured - the funding, but what are the investors most likely to go after. s-type and p-type loonshots.
Bahcall has a great way of making scientific things easier to undersand for the comon man - polaroid.
There are comparisions in many industries - Airline industry - American Airlines vs PanAm, what was the difference in their approach? How the movie industry and the science-pharma split when they got big. The rift between production and disruption. How many slip out in The scale Chasm.
I am very impressed with the huge section of Appendix.
