This book by Matt Ridley came up once on Tim Ferriss in the episodes we index. That mention was a genuine on-air recommendation, not just a passing reference. The people who brought it up: Bill Gurley. Every occurrence below links to the episode page and to the exact second it was said on YouTube.
“I think Ridley's two books, The Rational Optimist and How Innovation Works, they're just fantastic and spectacular.”— Bill Gurley
The guest here is Bill Gurley: General partner at Benchmark for 20+ years (eBay, Uber, OpenTable, GrubHub, Stitch Fix, Zillow); former top-ranked Wall Street sell-side analyst at Credit Suisse First Boston; trustee at the Santa Fe Institute. Legendary VC Bill Gurley on mental models, network effects, the brutal valuation reset, open source as corporate strategy, and regulatory capture.
