I’m your host, Evan Epstein.\n\nIn this episode, I talk with Margaret O’Mara, the Howard & Frances Keller Endowed Professor of History at the University of Washington. She writes and teaches about the growth of the high-tech economy, the history of U.S. politics, and the connections between the two.\n\nIn this podcast, we talk about her book “The Code: Silicon Valley and the Remaking of America” (published in 2019). We cover the origin story of the region, startups, the founder narrative, historical figures, culture, venture capital, dual-class shares, and other aspects relevant to corporate governance."}
