30 Years in China: A More Nuanced Comparison Of Socio-Economic Approaches Between China and 'The West' w/ Peter Alexander

Episode • May 6, 2023 • 2h 15m

Peter Alexander is an entrepreneur who’s been living and doing business in Shanghai, China for nearly 30 years.

He reached out to me recently after hearing one of the ‘Macro Hang’ episodes, where we briefly touched on the subject of China, and in which I suggested that we should be careful not to oversimplify the differences between China and ‘The West’ / US, especially in terms of economic 'model'.

Peter agrees, and feels that the economic and social circumstance in China are, broadly speaking, being misrepresented, or at the very least lacking important nuance, by commentators in the bitcoin space (and beyond), and as a result contacted me to see if I’d be open to hearing a more informed and experienced perspective on it.

Of course I was interested, so we set up a chat.

Enjoy!
