The Chinese Economy & Deng Xiaoping sound quite interesting. Definitely going on my to-read list. Given the focus on China, I'm wondering if you have a single volume general history on China that you'd recommend? I've found that to be a valuable baseline in other cases (a recent example of such that I read was Greece: Biography of a Modern Nation), so would like to find such books for more countries.
Subscriber fm India here. Wrote a piece on how early VCs (I am one) 'value' investments. TLDR; cant use DCF naturally, so they use what I refer to as long-term multiparty staging games - where VCs at different stages bear the risk of getting the startup to the next phase, and where the 'valuation' at each stage becomes the capital raise divided by dilution.
Have there been any Deng Xiaoping-like figures in Bangladesh that have driven its position as a dominant garment manufacturer and surpassing both India and China as GDP per capita?
Maybe there is an interesting cultural story there when you look at Intel (big bang failure, first partially via long delays at 14nm, then spectacularly at 10nm) vs TSMC (continual, but small cautious, advances)?

Presume this is the place to share these - couldnt see any other route.
Land value taxes and their effectiveness in practice are something I'm particularly interested in

Comparing big bang privatization to China:
