What I completed this week (link to last week’s commitments):

  • Added two more books that I read in 2019, these an inside perspective on angel investing and a biography about the opioid crisis and one of America’s biggest pain clinics, to the library on this site—see more here

What I’ll do next week:

  • Read a biography, autobiography, or framework book
  • Add two more books that I read before 2024 to the library on this site—see more here

Asks:

  • Seeking technical lead or cofounder – I’m looking for a senior full-stack developer skilled in AI retrieval. If you know one who’d have an interest in working on the software project related to books, please introduce us!

Week two hundred eighty-two was another week of learning. Looking forward to next week!

Technological Revolutions and Financial Capital

August 2025

A historical account of how successive waves of new technologies have reshaped economies over the past two centuries. Perez explains the relationship between technological revolutions and the capital that funds their development. She shows that this relationship follows a recurring cycle, with distinct phases that carry profound economic and social ramifications.
