Sebastian Mallaby: What is venture capital good for?

Sebastian Mallaby is a journalist and author. His latest book, The Power Law, is an exploration of the history and impact of venture capital that seeks to explain how VCs see the world and why it matters. In this conversation, we discuss why VC is so different from any other asset class, why VC networks should be considered a third core institution of capitalism alongside firms and markets, and whether VC has a positive impact in the world.You can order the Power Law here.-----------------Thanks to Cofruition for consulting on and producing the show.
