Why do some companies survive while others disappear?

Siri’s adventures through the world’s great businesses

Why does one company last a hundred years while another disappears? Travel the world meeting the businesses behind the things you use every day — and find out what they got right, what they got wrong, and what they learned from it.

What your child actually comes away with

Every book in this series is built the same way, and it is not the way a textbook is built.

The science first How the thing actually works, built one step at a time, so nothing is taken on trust.
Then the business Why anyone would spend a fortune building it, and who pays for it in the end.
The honest crack Every fortress is shown with the flaw that could bring it down. No brochure endings.
The next question Each book closes on a riddle rather than a summary, because the point is to keep going.

The thinking behind these stories

Charlie asks the question that frames each book and never answers it for you. Warren closes it, on stewardship rather than wealth. Between them the child does the work — looking for incentives, for what would wreck the thing, for what lasts.

These are not investing books. No stock prices, no tickers, no advice — a way of thinking, turned into an adventure.

Start with these two. They are free.

Open one and read it end to end — no account, no card, no countdown.
