  Apple in China👍 Recommends

  …recommending books on industrial policy and foreign policy implications

  “Another one that I think, especially in this moment, you know, has a new significance now that we're talking about AI and all data centers and all these things. Patrick McGee's Apple in China, I found just very interesting from an industrial policy standpoint, from a foreign policy standpoint, from a national security standpoint. Really, really, really good and worth reading for your audience.”

• The Frackers👍 Recommends

  …recommending books on american energy policy and industrial transformation

  “I'll go abundance. I think the frackers is really interesting for understanding our energy dominance, you know, evolution and revolution. I think the watching us go from a scarcity mindset in the 2000s when I started my career to being the Saudi Arabia of natural gas. It's not something that the elites saw coming. It's not something that really smart people saw coming. It's not what we indexed our policy and our politics to. And I think it still hasn't fully set in how revolutionary that it was. I think it's an important one for your folks to read.”

• The Right👍 Recommends

  …recommending books on understanding the historical evolution of republican party politics

  “I'm thinking of one that probably hasn't been read by most of your audience, but I think should be Matt Continetti and he wrote a history of the right called The Right... I really think it did the best job that I've seen of reminding us that that not only did history not start in 2016, it didn't start in 1980 either. The iterations and evolutions of the Republican Party over 100 years, I think, are important and instructive in terms of the current moment and how it maps on to the party over time.”
