Alibaba: The House that Jack Ma Built

 

In just 15 years, Jack Ma, a former English teacher, founded Alibaba and turned it into the world’s second-largest Internet company. With a groundbreaking $25 billion IPO in 2014, Alibaba has transformed China’s e-commerce landscape and made Jack Ma an icon of the country’s private sector. Author Duncan Clark, with unprecedented access and insider knowledge, presents a compelling narrative of Alibaba’s rise, Jack Ma’s drive, and the company’s impact on China’s economy. He also explores Alibaba’s international expansion, political and social context, and its role in shaping China’s economic landscape

 

Elon Musk by Walter Isaacson

 

From the author of Steve Jobs and other bestselling biographies, this is the astonishingly intimate story of Elon Musk, the most fascinating and controversial innovator of our era – a rule-breaking visionary who helped to lead the world into the era of electric vehicles, private space exploration, and artificial intelligence. Oh, and took over Twitter.

 

When Elon Musk was a kid in South Africa, he was regularly beaten by bullies. One day a group pushed him down some concrete steps and kicked him until his face was a swollen ball of flesh. He was in the hospital for a week. But the physical scars were minor compared to the emotional ones inflicted by his father, an engineer, rogue, and charismatic fantasist.

 

His father’s impact on his psyche would linger. He developed into a tough yet vulnerable man-child with an exceedingly high tolerance for risk, a craving for drama, an epic sense of mission, and a maniacal intensity that was callous and at times destructive.

 

At the beginning of 2022 – after a year marked by SpaceX launching thirty-one rockets into orbit, Tesla selling a million cars, and him becoming the richest man on earth – Musk spoke ruefully about his compulsion to stir up dramas. ‘I need to shift my mindset away from being in crisis mode, which it has been for about fourteen years now, or arguably most of my life,’ he said.

 

It was a wistful comment, not a New Year’s resolution. Even as he said it, he was secretly buying up shares of Twitter, the world’s ultimate playground. Over the years, whenever he was in a dark place, his mind went back to being bullied on the playground. Now he had the chance to own the playground.
