About this product
Product Information
Paper Belt on Fire is the unlikely account of how two outsiders with no experience in finance--a charter school principal and defrocked philosopher--start a venture capital fund to short the higher education bubble. Against the contempt of the education establishment, they discover, mentor, and back the leading lights in the next generation of dropout innovators and in the end make their investors millions. Can such a madcap strategy help renew American creativity? Who would do such a thing? This story is the behind-the-scenes romp of one team that threw educational authorities into a panic. It fuses real-life personal drama with history, science, and philosophy to show how higher education and other institutions must evolve to meet the dire challenges of tomorrow.

Reviews
"Part adventure tale, part manifesto, Paper Belt on Fire is a battle cry for anyone who ever dreamed of wresting power back from corrupt institutions--or of nailing the truth to the cathedral door." --Peter Thiel, author of Zero to One "Michael Gibson has spearheaded a recent revolution in education, and how to turn it into true learning and achievement. Paper Belt on Fire gives an inside look at how this was accomplished, the people behind the story, and how and why America can do better." --Tyler Cowen, author of The Great Stagnation and professor of economics, George Mason University " Paper Belt on Fire is both an indictment of failing institutions and a behind-the-scenes adventure about the mischief-makers fighting to renew America's dynamism." --Marc Andreessen, co-founder of Netscape and Andreessen Horowitz

Exactly as described except the first 50 pages had been torn out. Good price if it had been a complete book. Prompt shipping. Seller promptly and without hesitation or having to return the book, refunded me in full. I will (and have) used again.
