The Rainforest
What makes places like Silicon Valley tick?
Can we replicate that magic in other places?
How do you foster innovation in your own networks?
The Rainforest is a groundbreaking new book from two of the world’s leading experts at the intersection of venture capital and global development. Victor W. Hwang and Greg Horowitt propose a radical new theory to explain the nature of innovation ecosystems -- human networks that generate extraordinary creativity and economic output. They argue that free market thinking fails to consider the impact of human nature on the innovation process. This ambitious work challenges basic assumptions that economists have held for over a century.
Kirkus Revews: "insightful, forward-thinking..." "provocative..." "Hwang and Horowitt write with authority and wit, carefully backing up their theory with substantive examples. Readers get the feeling that the authors have unveiled a very big, important concept, one that could serve as the basis for intentionally, methodically developing other “rainforests” similar to Silicon Valley."
