Technology and capitalism are very much linked. I think that capitalism probably works best in a technologically progressing society.
Peter ThielDistribution may not matter in fictional worlds, but it matters in most. The Field of Dreams conceit is especially popular in Silicon Valley, where engineers are biased toward building cool stuff rather than selling it. But customers will not come just because you build it. You have to make this happen, and it's harder than it looks.
Peter ThielIf you have technological progress, that will encourage more capitalist system. On the other hand, if you don't, if things are stalled, you end up with much more of a zero sum type thing, where there's no progress and basically everybody's gain is somebody else's loss.
Peter ThielIf you focus on near-term growth above all else, you miss the most important question you should be asking: will this business still be around a decade from now?
