Sebastian Mallaby who has written several books including The Man Who Knew, More Money Than God, and his most recent book called The Power Law: Venture Capital and the Making of the New Future. He is also a senior fellow for international economics at the Council on Foreign Relations. In today’s episode Sebastian shares how he’s spent a lot of time exploring the world of venture capital, start-ups, and entrepreneurship, and it turns out that there’s a lot of lessons and ideas we can bring from that world into the more traditional environment.
