Different cultures of innovation

Episode 4 of In the Field with Michael Muthukrishna

Hi Lab,

I’ll keep this brief. Two of the Substack signed book winners have gotten back to me and given me permission to mention their names. One is in the UK and the other is in Canada. Just waiting on the third and then I’ll announce. There are 7 more copies between now and soon after the US and Canadian version come out on Oct 31.

The fourth video of my series #IntheFieldwithMM is on innovation strategies-shot in Silicon Valley and Japan. I discuss different cultures of innovation using Silicon Valley and Japan as examples.

Is Silicon Valley a bastion of success or a graveyard of failure?

Is the Asian Tiger parent strategy better for creating innovators?

How do you create an innovation culture?

As always, the book is available here: http://atheoryofeveryone.com

If you’ve read it already, please leave a review on Amazon and/or Goodreads and feel free to reach out with your comments. I love reading reader reactions. Here’s a message I got this morning about Chapter 9 on inequality and inheritance taxes:

Over the coming weeks, I’m thinking of releasing some book off-cuts on things like what money is in the context of energy and how it relates to inflation. What do you think?

Best wishes,

Michael
