The Rise and Fall of American Growth | Robert J. Gordon | BM4
→ The Rise and Fall of American Growth: https://www.bookmarked.club/books/the-rise-and-fall-of-american-growth Sponsor → Stakwork: https://stacksats.how/stakwork Summary The conversation explores the book 'The Rise and Fall of American Growth', which chronicles growth in America over the past 150 years. It begins with an introduction to the topic and the background of the author Robert J. Gordon. The concept of growth and productivity is defined, highlighting the role of GDP and the impact of inventions. The three industrial revolutions are discussed, along with their key innovations. The conversation then delves into the factors affecting growth, including education, inequality, and fiscal debt. The chapters conclude with an exploration of the rise of American growth from 1870 to 1970 and the fall of American growth from 1970 to the present. The conversation covers various topics related to economic growth, inequality, and the future. The guest, Robert J. Gordon, advocates for immigration reform and improved education as solutions to economic challenges. The discussion also touches on the impact of going off the gold standard and the role of money in exacerbating issues. The guest expresses skepticism about the idea that the US going off the gold standard in 1971 has played a significant role in rising inequality. The conversation concludes with a discussion on the potential for a 'special century' and the importance of economic growth. Takeaways - Growth and productivity are measured by GDP and reflect the increase in output per person or per hour of work. - The three industrial revolutions, marked by key innovations, have driven economic growth: steam engine and cotton spinning, electric power and internal combustion engine, and computers and digital technology. - The percolation of innovations takes time, and the impact of new inventions may not be immediately evident in productivity statistics. - Factors such as education, inequality, and fiscal debt can act as headwinds to growth. - The rise of American growth from 1870 to 1970 was driven by the implementation of inventions and increased productivity. - The fall of American growth from 1970 to the present is characterized by slower productivity growth, increased inequality, and fiscal debt.

Summary
In this episode, Kevin interviews Virginia Postrel, author of 'The Fabric of Civilization,' about the role of fabric in history and its connection to technology, science, and trade. Virginia shares her journey of becoming interested in fabric and the inspiration behind her book. They discuss the concept of natural fibers and how they have been modified over time. They also explore the connection between weaving and math, as well as the impact of dye on the chemical industry. Overall, the conversation highlights the often overlooked significance of textiles in shaping human civilization. The conversation explores the history and future of fabric, focusing on the development of synthetic dyes, the motivations behind their use, and the impact of technological progress on jobs and society. The Luddite movement is discussed as an example of opposition to automation and efficiency. The future of fabric is examined through the lens of 3D knitting, customization, bioengineering, environmental sustainability, 3D printing, and innovative applications. The conversation explores various textile innovations and their applications, including nonwovens, carbon fiber, and performance textiles in athletics. It also discusses the design of garments for specific sports positions.
Takeaways
- Textiles have played a crucial role in human civilization, connecting technology, science, and trade.
- There is no such thing as a truly 'natural' fiber, as most fibers have been modified over time through selective breeding and hybridization.
- Weaving is an early form of binary operation and has connections to mathematics and computing.
- Dye has been a catalyst for the chemical industry, leading to advancements in chemistry and the development of synthetic dyes.
- Textiles have been an integral part of human history, and understanding their role provides insights into the broader history of civilization.
- Synthetic dyes were the first killer app of industrial chemistry, revolutionizing the textile industry.
- The motivations for using dyes include status, religious significance, and group affiliation.
- The Luddite movement highlights the tension between technological progress and job displacement.
- The future of fabric includes 3D knitting, customization, bioengineering, environmental sustainability, 3D printing, and innovative applications.
- Nonwovens, such as those used in disposable diapers and masks, are an important category of fabric.
- Carbon fiber, although not a textile, is a fiber used in various applications, including athletic equipment.
- Performance textiles play a significant role in enhancing athletic performance, comfort, and injury prevention.
- Garments can be designed specifically for different sports positions to optimize movement and performance.

The Box: How the Shipping Container Made the World Smaller and the World Economy Bigger | Marc Levinson | BM1
→ The Box: https://www.bookmarked.club/books/the-box Sponsors → Stakwork: https://stacksats.how/stakwork → CrowdHealth: https://www.joincrowdhealth.com/ Summary On this episode, Marc Levinson explores the history and impact of containerization on the global economy. He begins with an introduction to the topic and the motivation behind writing his book 'The Box'. The discussion then delves into the state of international trade before the advent of containers and the challenges faced by dock workers. The role of regulation and the ICC in shaping the industry is also explored. The conversation highlights the story of Malcolm McLean and his pivotal role in the birth of containerization. The impact on small shipping towns, the unintended consequences, and the expansion and standardization of containers are also discussed. Finally, the conversation explores the lessons learned from container standardization, the impact of container shipping on Asia and American economies, the reversal of ship sizes, technological innovations in the shipping industry, potential threats to the shipping industry, and the development of the container shipping industry. Takeaways - Containerization revolutionized international trade and played a major role in the growth of globalization. - The development of container shipping was driven by a combination of economic factors, technological advancements, and the vision of individuals like Malcolm McLean. - The standardization of containers and the establishment of regular shipping routes were crucial in the growth and success of containerization. - Containerization had significant implications for labor unions, dock workers, and small shipping towns, leading to changes in employment and economic structures. Container standardization took about 10 years to reach a result that seemed acceptable to everybody, showing that standardization processes can be slow. - Container shipping had a significant impact on the economies of Asia and the United States, enabling the growth of trade and the development of new business models. - The trend of increasing ship sizes is likely to reverse, as the economies of scale are not as beneficial as initially expected. - Technological innovations in the shipping industry are focused on marginal improvements rather than revolutionary changes. - Technologies like 3D printing and demographic changes may pose threats to the shipping industry. - The development of the container shipping industry was a result of incremental changes and decisions that had significant long-term effects.
