This book by Daniel Carpenter came up once on Lex Fridman in the episodes we index. That mention was a genuine on-air recommendation, not just a passing reference. The people who brought it up: Balaji Srinivasan. Every occurrence below links to the episode page and to the exact second it was said on YouTube.
This work traces the history of FDA regulation of pharmaceutical, revealing how the agency's organizational reputation has been the primary source of its power, yet also one of its ultimate constraints.
“do you recommend the book it's a good book yeah or it's it's now a little bit outdated okay because... still as a history of the FDA it is well worth reading”— Balaji Srinivasan
The guest here is Balaji Srinivasan: Angel investor, tech founder, and author of The Network State; former CTO of Coinbase and general partner at Andreessen Horowitz. He was also considered for a senior role at the FDA in the Trump administration. Balaji Srinivasan lays out a sweeping vision for replacing failing institutions, governments, the FDA, science, media, and money, with decentralized, crypto-powered alternatives and the 'network state.'.
