Zero to One
About this book
Thiel's argument is that valuable companies do something genuinely new rather than copying what works, and that competition destroys profit while monopoly funds the long term. Covers the contrarian question, the power law in venture returns, the characteristics of durable monopolies, distribution as an underrated function, and the seven questions every business must answer. Short, and deliberately provocative rather than balanced.
