Topics
Sarah Gonzalez认为洛杉矶的超市拥有比纽约更好的农产品选择,尤其是在种类和新鲜度方面。她详细描述了在Vallarta超市的购物体验,并表达了对该超市的喜爱。 Nick Fountain介绍了FastCap公司独特的效率提升方法,即让员工每天花30分钟时间改进生产流程。他认为这种方法不仅提高了效率,也增强了团队凝聚力,并用经济学中的“全要素生产率”概念进行了阐述。 Emma Peasley以Iowa大学篮球运动员Caitlin Clark为例,探讨了效率的另一种定义。她认为Clark虽然投篮命中率不高,但她敢于尝试高难度投篮,这种“低效”反而为球队带来了胜利,体现了效率与结果之间的复杂关系。 Alex Goldmark推荐了Ed Conway的书《Material World》,并对书中关于钢铁、石油等原材料的知识点进行了简要介绍,认为该书深入浅出地讲解了塑造现代文明的六种原材料。 Sam Yellow Horse Kessler推荐了话剧《Manahatta》,该剧通过并列讲述17世纪和21世纪两个故事,展现了原住民在资本主义经济体系中的困境,引发了她对自身身份认同和经济体系之间矛盾的思考。 Alexi Horowitz-Ghazi推荐了播客《Corporate Gossip》,认为该播客以娱乐的方式报道商业新闻,兼具趣味性和信息量,并用其独特的视角和深入的调查,揭示了商业世界背后的复杂性和戏剧性。
