This was a really enjoyable and stimulating article. It’s a rare treat to have someone write about the larger view of an industry in a clear and approachable manner. I am curious to see how it is received though. I have a quote by Machiavelli that I keep handy for when things get a bit tough:
“And let it be noted that there is no more delicate matter to take in hand, nor more dangerous to conduct, nor more doubtful in its success, than to set up as the leader in the introduction of changes. For he who innovates will have for his enemies all those who are well off under the existing order of things, and only lukewarm supporters in those who might be better off under the new.”
