Someone linked a good long while back a model of corporate development, which started at a "happy warrior" phase of making stuff, relatively uncontested & unchecked, & phased deeper & deeper into conservative just holding market & personal power. Thats more a macro-picture, where-as this focuses aroumd the micro-, the person, but I feel like perhaps somewhat there's a relationship, in that the environmemt shapes the possible behaviors. I've tried to find it a couple times but searching for "happy warrior" lands me nowhere, whatever permutations I try to add.
- sogen 4y agoInterested in reading that article. Do you by chance have it saved in your favorites?
- rektide 4y agoFound it! It's Burton Klein's classifications of the firm. https://scottlocklin.wordpress.com/2021/02/17/planning-of-invention-part-1-burton-klein-and-dynamic-economics/ https://scottlocklin.wordpress.com/2021/02/17/planning-of-in... It is a bit absurd what a decay there is here, from obviously good to increasingly conservative & closed models. But this discussion on power struggles was excellent yet lacked some of the larger context of what mode the business at large operates in, & Klein here had some semi-interesting if pointed ideas to get us thinking about modes of thr firm. Unfortunately Scott- who is covering this has been pretty highly insensitive & crude repeatedly. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=6116063 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=6116063 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=29393152 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=29393152
