From the Soda Journal, written on 13 June 06 by Fiddian.
I recently read this article by Paul Graham, sent through by Jose Marinez (fellow PhD’er and PeopleLab person). I found it especially interesting as all this stuff about cultures of innovation and enterprise seems really topical at the moment. I, abeit sometimes grudingly, agree with most of what Paul Graham says but what really resonates is the stuff about the openness (or sloppiness?) of American schools when compared to the exam passing factories that are the ‘better’ British schools. This factor coupled with entreprenerial attitude and the availability role models rings true for me as fundamental reasons for this difference.
