Introduction
In the introduction to David and Goliath: Underdogs, Misfits and the Art of Battling Giants,
author Malcolm Caldwell advances the central premise in his book by outlining and analyzing the mano a mano duel between the giant and the sling-shot artist.
That premise is easily stated and summarized. Simply put, Caldwell believes that much of the value in our world is accrued from this type of lopsided contest, because the odds produce greatness and beauty,
