Episode 137: The Great MELTdown

Peter and Dan discuss the Future of Money, Energy, Labor, And Transportation (MELT). Peter uses his "6D's of Exponentials" framework to look at each category. In this episode: The U.S. will do the best job of using technology to contain the cost of money, energy, labor, and transportation. When digitization suddenly helps to drop the cost of things, a disruption takes place in three forms: demonetization, dematerialization, and democratization. The advantage of digitizing something is that you can offer it globally.
