World
Changers世界改变者图鉴
Sixteen paths that changed the world — from the Yellow Emperor to the nameless. Not a hall of fame: a field guide to the patterns of builders. Systems and ideas outlive conquest and power.
Systems and ideas outlive conquest and power. The greatest world-changers were never the strongest — they were the ones who built the organization, the institution, the standard, the mind-share.思想与制度，比征服与权力长寿。最伟大的改变者从来不是最强的人——而是建出组织、制度、标准与心智的人。
