#85 Bethany McLean: Crafting a Narrative
The Knowledge Project with Shane Parrish
Information Asymmetry
- Skeptical information doesn't easily permeate the mainstream business world.
- Bethany McLean observed a "three monkeys" phenomenon (hear no evil, see no evil, speak no evil) in business reporting.
- Companies rarely criticize competitors publicly, and employees risk termination for speaking out.
- This creates an information gap where skepticism circulates within a limited group but doesn't reach the broader public.
