This episode unpacks how breakthrough technologies up‑end old economic paradigms, forcing organizations and whole societies to reorganize around new ways of creating value. Using the Industrial Revolution as a historical anchor and mapping its patterns onto modern cases—Tesla, AWS, Zoom, and Netflix—the discussion introduces a five‑step “thinking‑chain” (from breakthrough identification to ecosystem construction) and distills three core strategic insights: the need for “triple matching” between tech, organizations, and institutions; designing for antifragility; and carving a clear niche in the emerging landscape.

This episode dives into Part Four of the book, exploring how monumental technological shifts give rise to entirely new technical economic paradigms. The discussion clarifies that these paradigms are not born of a single innovation, but rather from a cluster of foundational breakthroughs that reshape how economies function—from production methods to the very logic that underpins progress. The hosts introduce a four-step framework—identification of technology turning points, defining social adaptation models, establishing diffusion pathways, and responding to cyclical fluctuations—to unpack these systemic changes. Case studies of Tesla and AWS illustrate how these phases unfold, while emerging trends in the metaverse and shifts in China’s new energy vehicle policies hint at the future trajectory of economic transformation.
