    Zero To One: Chapter 1. The Challenge of the Future | Aarav Makan

    The Challenge of the Future. Book explains that the biggest challange of the future is Creating and Building New and Innovative things in order to survive on this Planet. The Future of Progress. The Progress can be of two forms. Horizontal or Extensive Progress and Vertical Progress or Intensive Progress.  Author explains this simply by a graph in which he mentions that While going Horizontally,  we are copying things from other that works. And while going Vertically, we are building and doing new things which were never done before.  Globalisation is an example of Horizontal progress, taking things that work somewhere and making them work everywhere.  Technology is an example of vertical progress. Both of these are different modes of progress, it's possible to have both, either, or neither at the same time. Now Spreading old ways to create wealth around the world will result in devastation, not riches. In a world of scarce resources, globalisation without new technology is unsustainable. Startup Thinking. 50% of the population who don't know what they will pursue in future says that they will open a startup or Company without knowing what really it means. A startup is the largest group of people you can convince of a plan to build a different future. Book explains that Startups operate on the principle that you need to work with other people to get stuff done, but you also need to stay small enough so that you actually can. What a Startup has to do? Question received ideas and rethink business from scratch.
