August 08, 2022Tech's Undeniable Role in the Global Economy with Paul McCarthy | S2 E9
“Pine Trees have these needles that they drop around them, so they stung all the competition beneath that pine tree. It means that when you’re a plant who’s trying to compete with that pine tree, there’s not much chance you’ll be able to grow in its circumference.”
The metaphor of the pine tree implies that the new rules of competition have changed not only in the tech space but also in the global economy. It is also undeniable that this difficulty is fueled by the democratically-elected monopolies that either give us business learning points and benefits or greatly dominate the industry – adding more tension to the competitive marketplace of tech.
Paul X. McCarthy tackles this state of market power and dominant companies that are taking over the power/control in the technology industry. He also tackles how research and computational data science can help understand human behavioral trends and the productivity and impact of individuals on businesses.
Paul is the CEO and Co-founder of the League of Scholars, a research leader, an author, and an adjunct professor at UNSW Australia
