Peter Thiel has been in the media quite a bit in recent days following the release of his new book Zero to One. I haven't read the book yet, but I do have some brief thoughts so far based on some media interviews I've heard:
Thiel takes a rather alternative approach to capitalism. He says capitalism isn't about competition, but rather monopoly. This is similar to what I say in my book. Capitalism, if left to its own devices, veers towards monopoly. What Thiel doesn't spend time discussing is how this can be negative in addition to being a positive.
