Episode description
For All the Tea in China http://amzn.to/2u9Mam1 is a wonderful book. It covers the 1800 East India Company, Robert Fortune (and his forgotten wife!), and how to succeed in England without even dying. We'll touch on only a few parts of Fortune's story.
Modern Monopolies http://amzn.to/2uj8REC makes the case that it's platform businesses that will rule the day. I guess that YouTube is the best of these. We also look at 6 things platforms need to do (#5 is no naked men).
