Ep #44 - Why understanding entrepreneurship can help you understand politics?

🎙️ This week we are joined by resident economist Connor Fraser (ig: @realconnorfraser), to discuss the parallels between entrepreneurship strategy and politics. We go through the four entrepreneurial strategies viz. Intellectual Property, Value Chain, Disruptive and Architecture and discuss an example from real-world politics that they are parallel to. We also talk about whether the regime changes in the government are a pendulum or a creative destruction process.
