Episode 2: Breakneck: China's Quest to Engineer the Future by Dan Wang

A book about #China that ends up being just as much about #America. That's #Breakneck by Dan Wang — where Haricharan Mylaraiah, Arvind Mallik and I go deep on one of the most provocative books on global power written in recent years. Dan Wang spent nearly a decade living inside China. What he brings back isn't a warning or a love letter — it's an honest, sometimes uncomfortable account of a country building at breathtaking speed, at extraordinary human cost. And a mirror held up to a country that used to build like that too. We get into the big idea — engineers vs lawyers, China builds, America blocks — where it holds up, where it doesn't, the one-child policy, the India angle, and where all of this is headed. No clean conclusions. Just an honest conversation about a book worth arguing with. Also on youtube:  ▶️ https://youtu.be/7AafoFVqMlo [https://youtu.be/7AafoFVqMlo]

Episode1: Pattern Breakers by Mike Maples Jr. and Peter Ziebelman

In this conversation, Hari, Arvind and Tulip explore the concept of pattern breaking in business, particularly in the context of AI and innovation. They discuss the importance of inflection points, the role of culture in fostering innovation, and the ethical dilemmas that arise in disruptive industries. Case studies of successful companies like Airbnb and Twitch illustrate the principles discussed, while the conversation emphasizes the need for non-consensus ideas and frameworks for evaluating business concepts. The discussion concludes with reflections on the book's insights and their applicability to future trends in entrepreneurship.
